Quick Start Guide - AI Agriculture Advisor

✅ System is Ready!

All components have been configured to use Google Gemini instead of OpenAI.

🚀 Start the Application

Simply run:

./start.sh

This will:

✅ Load your GEMINI_API_KEY from .env file
✅ Start the FastAPI backend on http://localhost:8000
✅ Start the frontend on http://localhost:3000

Then open your browser to: http://localhost:3000

🧪 Test Environment Loading (Optional)

To verify your environment variables are loading correctly:

python3 test_env.py

You should see:

GEMINI_API_KEY: ✅ Set

📝 Your .env File Should Contain

GEMINI_API_KEY=your_actual_api_key_here

Get your API key from: https://makersuite.google.com/app/apikey

❓ Troubleshooting

"OPENAI_API_KEY is required" error

✅ FIXED! The API now properly loads the .env file with python-dotenv
Make sure you restart the servers after updating .env

API not responding

Check that both servers are running
Verify your GEMINI_API_KEY is set in .env
Check the terminal for error messages
