 # RowBoat monorepo
 
 This is the monorepo for RowBoat.
+
+## Setup and Run
+
+To set up and run RowBoat, follow these steps:
+
+1. **Create a `.env` File:**
+
+   First, create a `.env` file in the root directory of the project. You can use the `.env.example` file as a template. Copy the contents of `.env.example` and replace the placeholder values with your actual configuration values.
+
+   ```bash
+   cp .env.example .env
+   ```
+
+   Edit the `.env` file to include your specific API keys and secrets.
+
+2. **Build and Run Service:**
+
+   Use Docker Compose to build and run the RowBoat service:
+
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose up --build
+   ```
+
+   This command will build the Docker image and start the service.
+
+3. **Access the Application:**
+
+   Once the service is running, you can access RowBoat via:
+
+   - `http://localhost:3000`
