Documented steps

  1. Install and initialize the SDK (pip install runloop_api_client / npm install @runloop/api-client) with RUNLOOP_API_KEY set.
  2. Python: `runloop = AsyncRunloopSDK(); devbox = await runloop.devbox.create()` — devbox.id identifies the box once created.
  3. Run a synchronous command: `result = await devbox.cmd.exec(command="echo 'Runloop!!'")`, then read `await result.stdout()` and `result.exit_code`.
  4. TypeScript equivalent: `const devbox = await runloop.devbox.create(); const result = await devbox.cmd.exec("echo 'Runloop!!'"); await result.stdout(); result.exitCode;`
  5. Shut the devbox down when finished: `await devbox.shutdown()`.
  6. Docs: https://docs.runloop.ai/docs/tutorials/quickstart and https://docs.runloop.ai/docs/devboxes/overview
