+
+## ⚙️ Installation and Setup
+
+### 1️⃣ Create a Virtual Environment (Recommended)
+
+```bash
+python -m venv venv
+source venv/bin/activate       # (Linux/Mac)
+venv\Scripts\activate          # (Windows)
+```
+
+### 2️⃣ Install Dependencies
+
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+### 3️⃣ Add Your API Keys (if any)
+
+Create a `.env` file in your project root:
+
+```bash
+HF_TOKEN=<Your HF Token>
+MODEL_REPO=kaisarhossain/email-classifier-distilbert-finetuned-kaisar
+```
+
+---
+
+## ▶️ Run the App Locally
+
+```bash
+streamlit run app.py
+```
+
+The app will launch automatically in your browser at:
+```
+http://localhost:8501
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🐳 Deploying on Hugging Face (Docker Method)
+
+### 1️⃣ Create a `Dockerfile`
+Example:
+```dockerfile
+# Base image
+FROM python:3.10
+
+# Set working directory
+WORKDIR /app
+
+# Copy project files
+COPY . .
+
+# Install dependencies
+RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+# Expose Streamlit port
+EXPOSE 8501
+
+# Run Streamlit app
+CMD ["streamlit", "run", "email_classifier_streamlit_app.py", "--server.port=8501", "--server.address=0.0.0.0"]
+```
+
+### 2️⃣ Push to Hugging Face Space
+
+- Create a new **Hugging Face Space** → Select **Docker** as the SDK.  
+- Connect your **GitHub repository** or upload the project manually.  
+- Hugging Face automatically builds and runs your app.
