This section covers the installation and setup of the Sailthru Ruby client library. It includes instructions for installing the gem, configuring API keys and secrets, and setting up the client object in your Ruby application. It also shows how to increase the default timeout settings.

```APIDOC
## Installation

This client can be installed as a gem. The gem supports Ruby 1.9.3 and above. To install:

```ruby
gem install sailthru-client
```

## Setup

This client library requires the client API key and secret, which can be found in your My Sailthru Settings. To use the ruby client library, add the following code to your application:

```ruby
require 'sailthru'
api_key = '***'
api_secret = '***'
sailthru_client = Sailthru::Client.new(api_key, api_secret)
```

To increase timeout from 10 seconds (default) to 30 seconds, replace the above with:

```ruby
require 'sailthru'
api_key = '***'
api_secret = '***'
api_uri = 'https://api.sailthru.com'
proxy_host = nil
proxy_port = nil
opts = {
    :http_read_timeout => 30,
    :http_ssl_timeout => 30,
    :http_open_timeout => 30
}
sailthru_client = Sailthru::Client.new(api_key, api_secret, api_uri, proxy_host, proxy_port, opts)
```

## Version

```ruby
version = Sailthru::VERSION
```
