-## NODE.JS
+# Project Setup Guide
 
-- Node 16.x || 18.x
+This guide will help you set up and run the project locally.
 
-## USING YARN (Recommend)
+## Prerequisites
 
-- yarn install
-- yarn dev
+- Node.js (v16.x or v18.x)
+- Yarn (recommended) or npm
+- Access to project's database credentials
+- Google Cloud credentials
 
-## USING NPM
+## Installation Steps
 
-- npm i OR npm i --legacy-peer-deps
-- npm run dev
+1. **Install Dependencies**
+
+   ```bash
+   yarn install
+   # or using npm
+   npm install --legacy-peer-deps
+   ```
+
+2. **Database Connection**
+
+   Open a terminal and run the following SSH command to establish a connection to the database:
+
+   ```bash
+   ssh -L 5432:localhost:5432 t_agency_os@194.149.135.130 -N
+   ```
+
+   Keep this terminal window open while working with the application.
+
+3. **Environment Setup**
+
+   Update the `.env` file with your Google Cloud credentials:
+
+   ```env
+   GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/path/to/your/credentials.json"
+   ```
+
+4. **Generate Prisma Client**
+
+   ```bash
+   yarn prisma:generate
+   ```
+
+5. **Seed Database (First-time setup)**
+
+   If you're setting up the project for the first time and the database is empty, run:
+
+   ```bash
+   yarn db:seed
+   ```
+
+   This will create an initial tenant and user in the database.
+
+6. **Start Development Server**
+   ```bash
+   yarn dev
+   ```
+   The application should now be running on `http://localhost:3000`
+
+## Authentication
+
+The application uses Firebase Authentication. You can log in with the following default credentials:
+
+- Email: naum@mvpmasters.com
+- Password: BnP2025~
+
+## Available Scripts
+
+- `yarn dev` - Start development server
+- `yarn prisma:generate` - Generate Prisma client
+- `yarn build` - Build for production
+- `yarn start` - Start production server
+- `yarn db:seed` - Seed the database with initial data
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If you encounter any issues:
+
+- Ensure the SSH connection to the database is active
+- Verify your Google Cloud credentials path is correct
+- Check if all environment variables are properly set
+- Make sure the database is properly seeded if you're setting up for the first time
