> \`\`\`bash
> pipx install aihf
> \`\`\`
> 
> (or \`uv tool install aihf\`, or \`pip install aihf\` into an environment of your choice)
> 
> Then run it from anywhere:

> aihf
> \`\`\`
> 
> ### API keys
> 
> The app asks for keys the first time it needs them and saves them to \`~/.hedge-fund/.env\` — nothing to configure up front. It needs:
> 
> - A \[Financial Datasets\](https://financialdatasets.ai) API key, for prices, fundamentals, and earnings.
> - One model API key for the investor agents. Supported providers: Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, Google, xAI, Kimi, TypeSafe (Jev).
> 
> Keys exported in your shell always win over the saved file.
