# Hugging Face Deployment

## Create and Configure your Database (Required)

The first thing you need is to create a MongoDB Atlas Database and get your connection string.

Follow the instructions in this document: **[MongoDB Atlas](/docs/configuration/mongodb/mongodb_atlas)**

## Getting Started

**1.** Login or Create an account on **[Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/)**

**2.** Visit **[https://huggingface.co/spaces/LibreChat/template](https://huggingface.co/spaces/LibreChat/template)** and click on `Duplicate this Space` to copy the LibreChat template into your profile. 

> Note: It is normal for this template to have a runtime error, you will have to configure it using the following guide to make it functional.

**3.** Name your Space and Fill the `Secrets` and `Variables`
 
  >You can also decide here to make it public or private

You will need to fill these values:

| Secrets | Values |
| --- | --- |
| MONGO_URI | * use these instruction to get the string: https://librechat.ai/docs/configuration/mongodb/mongodb_atlas |
| OPENAI_API_KEY | `user_provided` | 
| BINGAI_TOKEN | `user_provided` | 
| CHATGPT_TOKEN | `user_provided` |
| ANTHROPIC_API_KEY | `user_provided` |
| GOOGLE_KEY | `user_provided` |
| CREDS_KEY | * see bellow |
| CREDS_IV | * see bellow |
| JWT_SECRET | * see bellow |
| JWT_REFRESH_SECRET | * see bellow |

> ⬆️ **Leave the value field blank for any endpoints that you wish to disable.** 

> ⚠️ setting the API keys and token to `user_provided` allows you to provide them safely from the webUI

> * For `CREDS_KEY`, `CREDS_IV` and `JWT_SECRET` use this tool: **[Credentials Generator](/toolkit/creds_generator)**
> * Run the tool a second time and use the new `JWT_SECRET` value for the `JWT_REFRESH_SECRET`

| Variables | Values |
| --- | --- |
| APP_TITLE | LibreChat |
| ALLOW_REGISTRATION | true |


## Deployment

**1.** When you're done filling the `secrets` and `variables`, click `Duplicate Space` in the bottom of that window
