🚀 Quick Setup Guide - Sora Studio

Get started with Sora Studio in 3 easy steps!

Step 1: Add Your API Key

Edit the .env file and add your OpenAI API key:

# Open the .env file
nano .env

# Add your API key (replace with your actual key)
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-actual-api-key-here

Save the file (Ctrl+O, Enter, Ctrl+X in nano).

Step 2: Start the Server

Run the startup script:

./start-server.sh

You should see:

🎬 Starting Sora Studio...

✅ Found API key in .env file

🚀 Starting web server on http://localhost:8000
   Press Ctrl+C to stop the server

Step 3: Open the App

Open your browser and go to:

http://localhost:8000

That's It! 🎉
