+# README.md Generator for Node.js Application
+
+## Setting up the Application
+
+To set up this Node.js application, follow the instructions below:
+
+1. **Copy `.env.example` to `.env**
+ Open your terminal and navigate to your project's root directory.
+   
+   ```bash
+   $ cp .env.example .env
+   ```
+
+2. Modify the `.env` file if you wish. The `DB_URL` should already be set
+correctly.
+
+3. Start the postgres database:
+
+    ```shell
+    $ docker-compose up -d
+    ```
+
+4. Install the packages
+
+  ```shell
+  $ npm i
+  ```
+
+5. Run the tests
+
+  ```shell
+  $ npm run test
+  ```
+
+6. Start the Express application.
+
+  ```shell
+  $ npm run serve
+  ```
+
