Getting Started

This guide covers setting up Check-IA for local development. The project has two main components: a Django backend and a React frontend.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.12+
• Node.js 18+
• Redis (for Celery task queue)
• A Supabase project (for authentication, database, and storage)

Setup Overview

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/agentsia223/check_ia.git
   cd check_ia
   

2. Configure environment variables — See Environment Variables

3. Set up the backend — See Backend Setup

4. Set up the frontend — See Frontend Setup

5. Start the Celery worker (required for async AI analysis)

   # Start Redis (separate terminal)
   redis-server
   
   # Start Celery worker (separate terminal)
   celery -A config worker --loglevel=info
   

Once all services are running, the frontend is available at http://localhost:3000 and the backend API at http://localhost:8000.
