+
+2. **Upload Files**: Upload the following files to your space:
+   ```
+   app.py                    # Main entry point (HF Spaces optimized)
+   streamlit_epic2_demo.py   # Epic 2 demo application
+   requirements.txt          # HF-optimized dependencies
+   config/                   # Configuration files
+   src/                      # Core system
+   ```
+
+3. **Set Environment Variables** (in Space settings):
+   ```bash
+   HF_TOKEN=your_huggingface_token_here  # For API access
+   ```
+
+4. **Automatic Configuration**: The app automatically detects:
+   - HuggingFace Spaces environment

+- 💾 Memory-optimized dependencies (<16GB usage)
+- 🌐 Global accessibility with zero setup required
+
+### **💻 Local Development**
+
+For full local capabilities with Ollama:
+
+```bash
+# Install Ollama and model
+brew install ollama
+ollama pull llama3.2:3b
+
+# Run Epic 2 demo
+streamlit run app.py
+```
+
+### **🐳 Docker Deployment**
+
+```bash
+# Build and run with Docker
+docker-compose up
+```
+
+## 🔧 Troubleshooting
+
+### "Model 'llama3.2' not found"
+- **Cause**: Ollama not installed or model not pulled
+- **Solution**: Follow Ollama installation steps above or use mock configuration
+
+### "Connection refused on localhost:11434"
+- **Cause**: Ollama service not running
+- **Solution**: Start Ollama with `ollama serve`
+
+### High Memory Usage
+- **Cause**: Large models loaded in memory
+- **Solution**: Use smaller models or increase system RAM
+
+### Tests Failing
+- **Cause**: Missing dependencies or Ollama not running
+- **Solution**: Use test_mock configurations or install Ollama
