First run

On first run, roam creates a default config file and tells you where it is:

Created default config at: ~/.config/roam-tui/config.toml
Please edit it with your Roam graph name and API token, then run again.

Edit the file with your graph name and API token, then run roam again.

Getting an API token

1. Open your Roam graph in the browser
2. Go to Settings → Graph → API tokens
3. Create a new token with read/write permissions
4. Copy the token into your config file or set the ROAM_GRAPH_API__TOKEN environment variable
