+Download the repo and navigate into the "frontend" directory. Run the following command.
+```sh
+npm install
+```
+Then go back to the base directory and go into the backend directory and run the same command.
+```sh
+npm install
+```
+Finally, return back to the "frontend" directory and run the following command.
+```sh
+npm run build
+```
+to build the project, I recommend running the website via nginx via the nginx config in the docker directory. or
+```sh
+npm run start
+```
+to run without building (not recommended). To start the connection websocket, return to the "backend" directory and run the following cmd
+```sh
+node server.js
+```
