+```
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Python 3.12
+- [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) - Fast Python package manager
+- Firebase project with service account credentials
+- (Optional) Azure AD for authentication
+
+## Local Setup
+
+### 1. Clone the repository
+
+```bash
+git clone <repository-url>
+cd nxtdo-backend
+```
+
+### 2. Install uv (if not already installed)
+
+```bash
+# On Windows (PowerShell)
+powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
+
+# On macOS/Linux
+curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
+```
+
+### 3. Install dependencies
+
+```bash
+# This creates a virtual environment and installs all dependencies
+uv sync
+```
+
+### 4. Configure environment variables
+
+```bash
+# Copy the example environment file
+cp .env.example .env
+```
+
+Update the `.env` file with your configuration:
+
+| Variable | Description |
+|----------|-------------|
+| `ENVIRONMENT` | `development` or `production` |
+| `GCP_PROJECT_ID` | Your Google Cloud Project ID |
+| `FIREBASE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_KEY` | Firebase service account JSON (as a single line) |
+| `AZURE_CLIENT_ID` | (Optional) Azure AD Client ID |
+| `AZURE_TENANT_ID` | (Optional) Azure AD Tenant ID |
+
+### 5. Run the application
+
+```bash
+# Using uv run (recommended)
+uv run uvicorn app.main:app --reload --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
+
+# Or activate the virtual environment first
+# On Windows
+.venv\Scripts\activate
+# On macOS/Linux
+source .venv/bin/activate
+
+# Then run uvicorn
+uvicorn app.main:app --reload --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
+```
+
+The API will be available at: `http://localhost:8000`
+
+## API Documentation
+
+Once running, access the interactive API documentation:
+- Swagger UI: `http://localhost:8000/docs`
+- ReDoc: `http://localhost:8000/redoc`
+
+## Running with Docker
+
+```bash
+# Build the image
+docker build -t nxtdo-backend .
+
+# Run the container
+docker run -p 8080:8080 --env-file .env nxtdo-backend
+```
+
+> **Note:** The Docker container runs on port `8080` by default.
+
+## Development
+
+### Adding new dependencies
+
+```bash
+uv add <package-name>
+```
+
+### Running tests
+
+```bash
+uv run pytest
+```
+
+### Code checks
+
+```bash
+uv run python .github/check.py
+```
+
