 ### **Design Contributions**
 Attention, designers! Your creativity has the potential to greatly improve our user experience. Please take the time to delve into our Figma design file (accessible through the Figma channel) and kindly share your valuable insights and designs to enhance Schwarz's aesthetics.
 
+### **Setup Schwarz locally**
+
+1. **Fork the Repository**:
+   1. Navigate to the [Schwarz GitHub repository](https://github.com/Schwarz-Official/Schwarz).
+   2. Click the "Fork" button in the top-right corner of the repository's page. This will create a copy of the repository in your GitHub account.
+
+2. **Clone Your Fork**:
+   1. Open your forked repository on GitHub (it should be at `https://github.com/your-username/Schwarz`).
+   2. Click the "Code" button and copy the URL of your forked repository.
+   3. On your local machine, open your terminal or command prompt.
+   4. Navigate to the directory where you want to clone the repository using the `cd` command.
+   5. Run the following command, replacing `<your-username>` with your GitHub username:
+      ```bash
+      git clone https://github.com/your-username/schwarz-repo.git
+      ```
+
+3. **Set Up Remote Upstream**:
+   1. Change your directory to the cloned repository:
+      ```bash
+      cd Schwarz
+      ```
+
+   2. Add the original Schwarz repository as a remote named "upstream" to stay synced with the latest changes:
+      ```bash
+      git remote add upstream https://github.com/Schwarz-Official/Schwarz.git
+      ```
+
+7. **Install Dependencies**: Schwarz has both frontend (React) and backend (Django) components. First, install the required packages in both the `frontend` and `backend` folders:
+   ```bash
+   # Inside the frontend folder
+   cd frontend
+   npm install
+
+   # Inside the backend folder
+   cd ../backend
+   pip install -r requirements.txt
+   ```
+
+### Running the Project
+
+#### Frontend (React App)
+
+To run the React app, navigate to the `frontend` folder and start the development server:
+
+```bash
+cd frontend
+npm start
+```
+
+This will start the React development server. You can view the app in your browser at `http://localhost:3000`.
+
+#### Backend (Django Server)
+
+To run the Django backend, navigate to the `backend` folder and apply migrations, create a superuser, and then run the server:
+
+```bash
+cd backend
+
+# Apply migrations
+python manage.py migrate
+
+# Create a superuser
+python manage.py createsuperuser
+
+# Run the server
+python manage.py runserver
+```
+
+The Django server will be accessible at `http://localhost:8000`.
+
