Thank you for filing this issue, aider should display this error condition in a more friendly way.
Regarding the actual problem: According to the error message you provided
The api_key client option must be set either by
passing api_key to the client or by setting the
OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable
It seems you did not setup the required OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable for accessing the OpenAI API. To set this up correctly or if you intended to use a different API or provider, please check the documentation -> https://aider.chat/docs/llms.html
The aider.docs instructions should be as follows: If you want to run Aider on another LLM and without any API key from OpenAI, you should do the following in the case of using Claude Sonnet:
1.Install aider python -m pip install aider-chat
2.Don't run aider yet, but first set up the Anthropic API key setx ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
3.If you're on Windows, restart the shell after using setx
4.To run aider, you first have to go to the directory with your git repo files. If you are in your git repo directory, type: aider --sonnet
Now it should work. The same steps apply for other LLMs, but with the following changes: point 2. setx Name_LLM_API_KEY and point 4. Run your specific LLM model by typing the model name you'll find in the Aider documentation: aider --modelName
This looks like a duplicate of #1378, so I'm going to close it so discussion can happen there. Please let me know if you think it's actually a distinct issue.
