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:

   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:

   source ~/claude-env/bin/activate
   

4. Navigate to the implementation directory:

   cd ~/hf_implementation
   

5. Run the Gradio app:

   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.
