docker-compose up -d
# Open: http://localhost:7860

Option B: Python (Local)

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

export GROQ_API_KEY="your_key"  # Windows: set GROQ_API_KEY=your_key
python app.py
# Open: http://localhost:7860

Option C: Hugging Face Spaces (Cloud)

See space_config.md for detailed steps

Step 3: Use the App

  1. Upload a document (PDF, CSV, or TXT)
  2. Wait for "ready" status

Common Questions πŸ€”

Q: Where do I get the API key?

A: Visit https://console.groq.com, sign up, and create an API key. It's free!

Q: Do I need Docker?

A: No! Run locally with Python or use HF Spaces (no setup needed).

Q: Can I change the UI?

A: Yes! Edit templates/index.html. It's plain HTML/CSS/JS.

Q: How do I deploy to production?

A: See DEPLOYMENT_CHECKLIST.md or space_config.md for HF Spaces.

Q: What file types are supported?

A: PDF, CSV, TXT. More can be added by editing app.py.

Q: Can multiple users use it?

A: Yes! Each browser session is independent. Add authentication if needed.

Q: How big can files be?

A: Up to 50MB. Change MAX_CONTENT_LENGTH in app.py if needed.

Q: Is my data private?

A: Files are stored on your server only. Never sent to Groq (except queries).

Q: What's a knowledge graph?

A: It visualizes relationships between documents and concepts as an interactive network diagram.

Q: How does RAG work?

A: Your question is matched to relevant document chunks, then an AI generates an answer based on those chunks.

Troubleshooting πŸ”§

"GROQ_API_KEY not found"

# Windows
echo GROQ_API_KEY=your_key >> .env

# Mac/Linux
echo "GROQ_API_KEY=your_key" >> .env

"Port 7860 is already in use"

# Option 1: Use different port
PORT=8000 python app.py

# Option 2: Find and stop the process using 7860
lsof -i :7860  # Mac/Linux
netstat -ano | findstr :7860  # Windows

"Docker not found"

Install Docker from https://docker.com

"Graph doesn't load"

  • Ensure document status is "ready"
  • Wait 3-5 seconds after upload
  • Check browser console (F12)

"Chat not responding"

  • Verify GROQ_API_KEY is set
  • Check document is "ready" status
  • Ensure internet connectivity

Next Steps 🎯

  1. Run locally: Execute one of the 3 options above
  2. Test features: Upload a sample CSV or PDF
  3. Explore code: Look at app.py to understand the flow
  4. Customize: Edit templates/index.html for styling
  5. Deploy: Push to HF Spaces or your server (see guides)
