   - 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 the Space URL: `https://huggingface.co/spaces/your-username/legal-dashboard-ocr`

### Step 2: Prepare Local Repository

1. **Navigate to Project Directory**
   ```bash
   cd legal_dashboard_ocr
   ```

2. **Run Deployment Script** (Optional)
   ```bash
   python deploy_to_hf.py
   ```

3. **Manual Git Setup** (Alternative)
   ```bash
   cd huggingface_space
   git init
   git remote add origin https://your-username:[email protected]/spaces/your-username/legal-dashboard-ocr
   ```

### Step 3: Upload Files to Space

1. **Add Files to Repository**
   ```bash
   git add .
   git commit -m "Initial deployment of Legal Dashboard OCR"
   git push -u origin main
   ```

2. **Verify Upload**
   - Check the Space page on Hugging Face
   - Ensure all files are visible
   - Verify the Space is building

### Step 4: Configure Environment Variables

1. **Set HF Token**
   - Go to Space Settings
   - Add environment variable: `HF_TOKEN`
   - Value: Your Hugging Face access token

2. **Verify Configuration**
   - Check that the token is set correctly
   - Ensure the Space can access Hugging Face models
