Step 1: Clone the Repository

Clone the Axion Framework repository:

bashCopy codegit clone https://github.com/<your-organization>/axion-framework.git
cd axion-framework

---

Step 2: Set Up a Virtual Environment

It’s recommended to use a virtual environment to avoid dependency conflicts:

bashCopy codepython -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

---

Step 3: Install Dependencies

Install the required packages using pip:

bashCopy codepip install -r requirements.txt

---

Step 4: Configure Environment Variables

Set up your environment variables for blockchain integrations, IPFS, and other services. Create a .env file in the root directory:

bashCopy code# Blockchain
SOLANA_WALLET_PATH=/path/to/solana-wallet.json
ETHEREUM_WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY=your_ethereum_private_key_here

# Redis
REDIS_HOST=localhost
REDIS_PORT=6379

# MongoDB
MONGODB_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017

---

Step 5: Start Redis

Ensure Redis is running:

bashCopy coderedis-server

---

Step 6: Run Axion Framework

Launch the framework and start interacting with your decentralized swarm:

bashCopy codepython examples/swarm_simulation.py

---

Optional: Additional Integrations

1. MongoDB: Ensure your MongoDB server is running:

   bashCopy codemongod

2. Neo4j: Start Neo4j from your terminal or GUI:

   bashCopy codeneo4j start

3. Qdrant: Start Qdrant on your local server or cloud instance.

4. SQLite: No additional setup is required; SQLite is file-based and ready to use.

Troubleshooting

• Issue: ModuleNotFoundError

  • Solution: Ensure all dependencies are installed using:

    bashCopy codepip install -r requirements.txt

• Issue: redis.exceptions.ConnectionError

  • Solution: Confirm that Redis is running on the correct host and port.

• Issue: FileNotFoundError for wallet paths

  • Solution: Verify the .env file configuration and ensure the file paths are valid.
