+### Getting Started
+This application is developed using the django framework for Python. They have excellent 
+[documentation](https://www.djangoproject.com/start/) on how to get started, so I will only give you the basics here
+
+1. Clone this repository wherever you like and install the Python language for your OS (at least version 3.8)
+2. Open it in your favorite editor/IDE (e.g. PyCharm)
+    1. if you want, create a virutal environment for all your packages.
+3. Install all required packages by running `pip install -r requirements.txt`
+4. Run the migrations `python manage.py migrate`
+5. Start the development server `python manage.py runserver`
+
+There is **no** need to set any environment variables. By default, a simple sqlite database is used and all settings are
+populated from default values.

 Although this application allows running without any webserver in front of gunicorn it is heavily recommended by almost

 a performance risk but that is just my personal interpretation.
