+# MicroForge Helm Chart
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Prerequisites
+- Kubernetes cluster
+- kubectl configured
+- Helm 3.0+
+
+### Installation
+
+1. **Ensure `src/.env` file exists** with required values:
+   - `LOGIN_SERVICE_DB_USERNAME`
+   - `LOGIN_SERVICE_DB_PASSWORD`
+   - `LOGIN_SERVICE_JWT_SECRET`
+   - `FLASK_SECRET_KEY`
+   - `NOTIFICATION_SERVICE_DB_USER`
+   - `NOTIFICATION_SERVICE_DB_PASSWORD`
+
+2. **Install using helper script:**
+
+   **Linux/Mac:**
+   ```bash
+   cd manifests/helm/microforge
+   chmod +x install-from-env.sh
+   ./install-from-env.sh
+   ```
+
+   **Windows PowerShell:**
+   ```powershell
+   cd manifests/helm/microforge
+   .\install-from-env.ps1
+   ```
+
+   **Or install directly:**
+   ```bash
+   helm install microforge ./manifests/helm/microforge
+   ```
+
+### Access Services
+
+All services are exposed via LoadBalancer:
+
+- **Frontend**: http://localhost:3000
+- **Login Service**: http://localhost:8081
+- **Auth Service**: http://localhost:8082
+- **Notification Service**: http://localhost:8083
+- **Metadata Service**: http://localhost:8084
+
+### Check Status
+
+```bash
+kubectl get pods -n microforge-dev-ns
+kubectl get services -n microforge-dev-ns
+```
+
+### Uninstall
