Environment Setup

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/your-org/paksa-financial-system.git
cd paksa-financial-system

Set up backend:

# Create and activate virtual environment
python -m venv .venv
.\.venv\Scripts\activate  # Windows
# source .venv/bin/activate  # Linux/Mac

# Install dependencies
pip install -r backend/requirements.txt

# Set up environment variables
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your configuration

Set up frontend:

cd frontend
npm install
cp .env.example .env.local
# Edit .env.local if needed

Running the Application

Development Mode

# Backend (from project root)
cd backend
python -m uvicorn app.main:app --reload --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

# Frontend (in a new terminal)
cd frontend
npm run dev

Production Deployment

# Build frontend
cd frontend
npm run build

# Run with Uvicorn (behind a reverse proxy like Nginx in production)
cd ../backend
uvicorn app.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

# Or using Docker
# docker-compose up -d --build

Troubleshooting

Backend Won't Start

Problem: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'app'

Solution: Make sure you're running from the correct directory:

# Option 1: Run from backend directory
cd backend
python -m uvicorn app.main:app --reload

# Option 2: Set PYTHONPATH from project root
set PYTHONPATH=%CD%\backend  # Windows
export PYTHONPATH=$PWD/backend  # Linux/Mac
uvicorn app.main:app --reload

Problem: Database initialization errors

Solution: Use the unified initialization script:

cd backend
python -m app.core.db.unified_init --mode development --sample-data

Problem: Circular import errors

Solution: The system now uses centralized error handling. If you see circular imports, check that you're using the latest code.

Frontend Issues

Problem: API calls failing

Solution: Check that backend is running and CORS is configured:

Backend should be at http://localhost:8000
Frontend at http://localhost:3003
Check .env files in both directories

Problem: Build errors

Solution:

cd frontend
rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
npm install
npm run dev

🔐 Authentication

Default admin credentials (change in production):

Email: admin@paksa.com
Password: admin123

Configure initial superuser via environment variables:

FIRST_SUPERUSER_EMAIL=admin@paksa.com
FIRST_SUPERUSER_PASSWORD=your_secure_password
