🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• AWS CLI configured with appropriate permissions
• Python 3.9+
• AWS account with S3, Textract, and DynamoDB access

Installation

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/Silverbrain20/Intelligent-Document-Processing-System.git
cd Intelligent-Document-Processing-System

2. Install dependencies

cd web-ui
pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Configure AWS resources

# Create DynamoDB table
python ../create-dynamodb-table.py

# Create Step Functions (optional)
python ../create-step-function.py

4. Update configuration Edit web-ui/modern-app.py with your AWS resources:

S3_BUCKET = 'your-s3-bucket-name'  # Replace with your S3 bucket
REGION = 'us-east-1'  # Your AWS region

5. Run the application

python modern-app.py

Visit http://localhost:5000 to access the web interface.
