   - Visit: https://huggingface.co/spaces
   - Click "Create new Space"

2. **Configure Space Settings**
   - **Owner**: Your Hugging Face username
   - **Space name**: `legal-dashboard-ocr` (or your preferred name)
   - **SDK**: Gradio
   - **License**: MIT
   - **Visibility**: Public
   - **Hardware**: CPU (Free tier)

3. **Create the Space**
   - Click "Create Space"
   - Note your Space URL: `https://huggingface.co/spaces/your-username/legal-dashboard-ocr`

### Step 2: Prepare Files for Upload

The deployment files are already prepared in the `huggingface_space/` directory:

```

huggingface_space/

├── app.py              # Gradio entry point

├── Spacefile           # HF Space configuration

├── README.md           # Space documentation

├── requirements.txt    # Python dependencies

├── app/               # Backend services

├── data/              # Sample documents

└── tests/             # Test files

```

### Step 3: Upload to Hugging Face Space

#### Option A: Using Git (Recommended)

1. **Navigate to HF Space directory**
   ```bash

   cd huggingface_space

   ```

2. **Initialize Git repository**
   ```bash

   git init

   git remote add origin https://your-username:[email protected]/spaces/your-username/legal-dashboard-ocr

   ```

3. **Add and commit files**
   ```bash

   git add .

   git commit -m "Initial deployment of Legal Dashboard OCR"

   git push -u origin main

   ```

#### Option B: Using Hugging Face Web Interface

1. **Go to your Space page**
2. **Click "Files" tab**
3. **Upload all files from `huggingface_space/` directory**

4. **Wait for automatic build**



### Step 4: Configure Environment Variables



1. **Go to Space Settings**

   - Navigate to your Space page

   - Click "Settings" tab



2. **Add HF Token**

   - Add environment variable: `HF_TOKEN`

   - Value: Your Hugging Face access token

   - Get token from: https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens



3. **Save Settings**
   - Click "Save" to apply changes

### Step 5: Verify Deployment

1. **Check Build Status**
   - Monitor the build logs
   - Ensure no errors during installation

2. **Test the Application**
   - Upload a Persian PDF document
   - Test OCR processing
   - Verify AI analysis works
   - Check dashboard functionality
