# Using Claude with Hugging Face Space

Since you're facing permission issues in the VS Code terminal, follow these steps:

1. In the VS Code terminal, run:
   ```bash
   chmod +x setup_claude.sh
   ./setup_claude.sh
   ```

2. This will:
   - Create a Python virtual environment
   - Install necessary packages
   - Set up a basic implementation in ~/hf_implementation

3. After installation, activate the environment:
   ```bash
   source ~/claude-env/bin/activate
   ```

4. Navigate to the implementation directory:
   ```bash
   cd ~/hf_implementation
   ```

5. Run the Gradio app:
   ```bash
   python app.py
   ```

## Next Steps

With this setup, you can:
1. Create the HF implementation files
2. Develop without root permissions
3. Run your RAG application with Hugging Face models

Refer to CLAUDE_HF.md for the implementation details.
