+# Getting Started
+
+These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.
+
+## Installation
+
+Please check the official laravel installation guide for server requirements before you start. [Official Documentation](https://laravel.com/docs/6.x/installation#installation)
+
+
+Clone the repository
+
+    git clone git@github.com:geolba/tethys.git

+Switch to the repo folder
+
+    cd tethys-app
+
+Install all the dependencies using composer
+
+    composer install --optimize-autoloader --no-dev

+    sudo chmod -R ug+rwx storage bootstrap/cache
+
+Start the local development server
+

+
+## Local Development
+
+Browsers enforce strict security permissions to prevent you from reading files out of the local file system. To develop locally, you must run a local web server rather than using file://…. Node’s [http-server](https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server) is recommended. To install:
+
+```
+npm install -g http-server
+```
+
+To run:
+
+```
+http-server & 
+```
+
+This will start the server on <http://localhost:8080> from the current working directory.
