Step 1: Clone the Repository

Clone the SynaptiQ Systems repository:

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

---

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 SynaptiQ Systems

Launch the framework and start interacting with your swarm:

bashCopy codepython examples/swarm_simulation.py

---

Optional: Additional Integrations

• MongoDB: Ensure your MongoDB server is running:

  bashCopy codemongod

• Neo4j: Start Neo4j from your terminal or GUI:

  bashCopy codeneo4j start

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

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

---

Troubleshooting

• Issue: ModuleNotFoundError

  Solution: Ensure all dependencies are installed via pip install -r requirements.txt.

• Issue: redis.exceptions.ConnectionError

  Solution: Ensure Redis is running on the correct host and port.

• Issue: FileNotFoundError for wallet paths

  Solution: Verify that the .env file is correctly configured and the paths are valid.
