 # Quatsh-Website
 
+## Requirements:
+
+### Install make
+Running this requires the use of "make" and docker.\
+
+"make" tends to come pre-installed on linux but not on Windows, to install it on Windows I recommend using Chocolatey as follows: \
+```
+choco install make
+```
+
+### Install docker
+https://docs.docker.com/get-started/get-docker/
+
+## Running for the first time
+### Env
+Before running the container environment has to be setup first, so first run:
+```
+cp .env.template .env
+```
+Then make any nessecary adjustments to the .env file.
+
+### Running the website:
+To run the website 3 options have been provided
+#### Development:
+For development purposes only as the src folder has been mounted in the container to allow for the making of changes without rebuilding the entire image.
+```
+make dev
+``` 
+
+#### Testing
+Runs the testing environment and exits.
+```
+make test
+```
+
+#### Production
+Using `make prod` is identical but preferred here.
+```
+make prod
+# or
+make
+```
