# 🚀 Quick Deployment Guide for Hugging Face Spaces This is a quick reference for deploying NeuroAnim to Hugging Face Spaces. ## Prerequisites ✅ You have created a Hugging Face Space ✅ You have your API keys ready ## Step-by-Step Deployment ### 1. Create Your Space 1. Go to https://huggingface.co/spaces 2. Click **"Create new Space"** 3. Fill in: - **Owner**: Your username - **Space name**: `neuroanim` (or your choice) - **License**: MIT - **Select the SDK**: Gradio - **Space hardware**: CPU basic (free) - can upgrade later 4. Click **"Create Space"** ### 2. Configure Secrets (IMPORTANT!) 1. Go to your Space → **Settings** → **Variables and secrets** 2. Add these secrets: ``` HUGGINGFACE_API_KEY = your_huggingface_token_here ``` Optional (but recommended): ``` ELEVENLABS_API_KEY = your_elevenlabs_key_here BLAXEL_API_KEY = your_blaxel_key_here MANIM_SANDBOX_IMAGE = your_sandbox_image_here ``` 3. Click **"Save"** for each secret ### 3. Push Your Code You have two options: #### Option A: Using Git (Recommended) ```bash # Navigate to your project cd "/media/bhaves/Volume 2/manim-agent" # Add HF Space as remote (replace YOUR_USERNAME and YOUR_SPACE_NAME) git remote add space https://huggingface.co/spaces/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_SPACE_NAME # Create a deployment branch (optional but recommended) git checkout -b hf-deploy # Copy the HF-specific README cp README_HF.md README.md # Add and commit deployment files git add requirements.txt README.md app.py orchestrator.py git add mcp_servers/ utils/ neuroanim/ manim_mcp/ git add pyproject.toml .gitignore git commit -m "Initial Hugging Face Space deployment" # Push to HF Space git push space hf-deploy:main ``` #### Option B: Web Upload (Easier but slower) 1. Go to your Space → **Files and versions** tab 2. Click **"Add file"** → **"Upload files"** 3. Upload these files/folders: - `app.py` ⭐ (main entry point) - `requirements.txt` ⭐ (dependencies) - `README_HF.md` → rename to `README.md` ⭐ - `orchestrator.py` - `pyproject.toml` - Folders: `mcp_servers/`, `utils/`, `neuroanim/`, `manim_mcp/` 4. Click **"Commit changes to main"** ### 4. Monitor Build 1. Go to your Space → **App** tab 2. Watch the build logs (bottom of page) 3. Wait 5-10 minutes for first build 4. Look for: `Running on public URL: https://...` ### 5. Test Your Space Once deployed: 1. Enter a topic: "Pythagorean Theorem" 2. Select audience: "high_school" 3. Duration: 2 minutes 4. Quality: "Medium" 5. Click **"Generate Animation"** 6. Wait for generation (may take 3-5 minutes) 7. Verify video plays and downloads work ## Troubleshooting ### Build Fails - Check **Logs** tab for errors - Verify `requirements.txt` is correct - Ensure all files are uploaded ### "API Key Not Set" Error - Go to Settings → Variables and secrets - Add `HUGGINGFACE_API_KEY` - Restart Space (Settings → Factory reboot) ### Slow or Timeout - Upgrade hardware: Settings → Change hardware - Try GPU T4 for faster rendering - Reduce animation duration for testing ### Import Errors - Check all folders are uploaded (`mcp_servers/`, `utils/`, etc.) - Verify folder structure matches local ## Hardware Recommendations | Hardware | Cost | Best For | |----------|------|----------| | CPU basic | Free | Testing, demos | | CPU upgrade | $0.03/hr | Light usage | | GPU T4 | $0.60/hr | Production, fast rendering | ## Next Steps ✅ Share your Space URL with others ✅ Enable community features (Settings → Visibility) ✅ Add example videos to README ✅ Monitor usage in Analytics tab ## Getting Your Space URL Your Space will be available at: ``` https://huggingface.co/spaces/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_SPACE_NAME ``` Share this link to let others use your animation generator! --- Need help?
