+## Setting up starter code on Intellij:
+
+1. Go to File > New > Project from version control
+2. You will notice that no program files are actually in your `Project` library. 
+3. Go to File > Project Structure
+4. Find `Modules` in the left panel
+5. Click on `COMP 303` > Select `comp303` > Right-click and check `Sources`
+
+6. You should now see `src` directory now. But if you try running `Welcome` by right-clicking and selecting "Run Welcome", it might show you an error like this:
+
+```java
+/home/ojas/IdeaProjects/COMP303Starter/src/module-info.java:7:20
+java: module not found: javafx.base
+```
+
+Here's how to fix it:
+
+7. Go back to File > Project Structure
+8. Go to `Project` and in SDK choose `liberica-full-23`
+9. Then go to `Libraries` in Project Structure
+10. Click on the little "+" icon and select Maven
+11. In the textbox type in javafx and scroll down to find `org.openjfx:javafx-base:22-ea+16`
+12. Install this and do the same for `openjfx.javafx.controls12` and `junit:junit:4.13.2`
+13. That's it! It should work now.
