Documented steps

  1. Install the E2B SDK: Python `pip install e2b`, or JS/TS `npm i e2b`.
  2. Set the E2B_API_KEY environment variable to a key from the E2B dashboard (Dashboard > keys).
  3. Create a sandbox: Python `from e2b import Sandbox; sandbox = Sandbox.create()`; JS/TS `const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()`.
  4. Verify it is live with `sandbox.is_running()` (True in Python; `await sandbox.is_running()` in JS).
  5. Run a quick command like `sandbox.commands.run('echo hi')`, then clean up with `sandbox.kill()`.
