+# R&D Agent Project
+
+> This repository has been populated with an initial template to help you get started. Please make sure to update the content to provide a great experience for community-building.
+
+## Motivation
+R&D Agent: Focusing on automating the most core and valuable parts of the industrial R&D process.
+
+Core method: Evolving.
+
+## Development
+
+### Create a Conda Environment
+- Create a new conda environment with Python 3.10:
+  ```sh
+  conda create -n rdagent python=3.10
+  ```
+- Activate the environment:
+  ```sh
+  conda activate rdagent
+  ```
+
+### Run Make Files
+- **Navigate to the directory containing the MakeFile** and set up the development environment:
+  ```sh
+  make dev
+  ```
+
+### Install Pytorch
+- Install Pytorch and related libraries:
+  ```sh
+  pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu
+  pip3 install torch_geometric
+  ```
+
+### Environment Configuration
+- Place the `.env` file (available in OneNote) in the same directory as the `.env.example` file.
+- Export each variable in the `.env` file:
+  ```sh
+  export $(grep -v '^#' .env | xargs)
+  ```
+
+### Azure Configuration
+- Install Azure CLI:
+  ```sh
+  curl -L https://aka.ms/InstallAzureCli | bash
+  ```
+- Log in to Azure:
+  ```sh
+  (your az root) az login --use-device-code
+  ```
+- Provide the code to your mentor and ask him to log in if needed.
+
+- `exit` and re-login to your environment (this step may not be necessary).
+
+### Run the Application
+- Ensure you have the necessary financial report and factor implementation source data. You may need to copy the data from a remote location. For example:
+  ```sh
+  scp [email protected]:/home/xuyang1/workspace/fincov2/git_ignore_folder/factor_implementation_source_data /home/finco/v-yuanteli/rdagent/RD-Agent/git_ignore_folder/
+  ```
+
+- Update the `.env` file to set the `FILE_BASED_EXECUTION_DATA_FOLDER` variable:
+  ```sh
+  FILE_BASED_EXECUTION_DATA_FOLDER=/home/finco/v-yuanteli/rdagent/RD-Agent/git_ignore_folder/factor_implementation_source_data
+  ```
+
+- Run the factor extraction and implementation script:
+  ```sh
+  python rdagent/app/factor_extraction_and_implementation/factor_extract_and_implement.py
+  ```
