-## Install the dependencies
+## Setup
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+1.  **Docker**:
+    *   **Windows/Mac**: Install [Docker Desktop](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/) (this is available free, ignore the "Choose Plan" button, and scroll down to the download button).
+    *   **Linux**: Install [Docker Engine](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/).
+2.  **Node.js**: Install Node.js version 22. You can download it from the [official Node.js website](https://nodejs.org/) or use a version manager like [volta](https://docs.volta.sh/guide/getting-started)
+3.  **pnpm**: Install `pnpm` globally using npm (which comes with Node.js):
     ```bash
-yarn
-# or
-npm install
+    npm install -g pnpm
     ```
 
-### Start the app in development mode (hot-code reloading, error reporting, etc.)
+### Installation
+
+Clone the repository and install the project dependencies using `pnpm`:
+
 ```bash
-quasar dev
+git clone <repository-url>
+cd <repository-directory>
+pnpm install
 ```
 
+### Setting up Environment Variables & Compose File
+Copy the example `.env.example` file to `.env` and update the values (primarily passwords or access tokens) as required.
+
+Copy the example `docker-compose.example.yml` file to `docker-compose.yml` and update the password as required (matching that set in the `.env` file).
+
+### Running the Development Server
+
+To start the development server, run:
 
-### Build the app for production
 ```bash
-quasar build
+docker compose up -d
+pnpm run dev
 ```
 
-### Customize the configuration
-See [Configuring quasar.config.js](https://v2.quasar.dev/quasar-cli-vite/quasar-config-js).
+This will start the PostgreSQL server on `localhost:5432` and the application server accessible at [http://localhost:9100](http://localhost:9100).
+
+I recommend using [Postico](https://eggerapps.io/postico/) for Mac or [pgAdmin](https://www.pgadmin.org/) for Windows to manage the PostgreSQL database.
+
+### Building for Production
+
+To create a production build of the application, run:
+
+```bash
+pnpm run build
+```
+
+This command compiles and optimizes the application for deployment. The output files are usually placed in the `dist` directory.
