+## Getting Started
+
+Follow these steps to get MatchFlow up and running locally via Docker Compose.
+
+---
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+#### Local Development Tools
+- **Docker Engine** ≥ 20.10  
+- **Docker Compose** ≥ 1.29  
+- A modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
+
+#### Azure Resources
+Before running MatchFlow, you need to set up these Azure services:
+
+- **Azure Blob Storage**
+  - Create a storage account
+  - Create a container for PDF storage
+  - Get the connection string and container name
+
+- **Azure Form Recognizer**
+  - Create a Form Recognizer resource
+  - Get the endpoint URL and API key
+
+> **Note:** These Azure resources are required for PDF storage and OCR processing. You'll configure them in the `.env` file during installation.
+
+---
+
+### Installation
+
+1. **Clone the repository**
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/datpham0412/invoice-processor.git
+   cd invoice-processor
+   ```
+
+2. **Create environment file**
+   
+   Copy or create `InvoiceProcessor.API/.env` with the following configuration:
+   
+   ```env
+   # Database Connection
+   CONNECTIONSTRINGS__DefaultConnection=Server=(localdb)\\MSSQLLocalDB;Database=InvoiceProcessorDev;Trusted_Connection=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=true
+   
+   # Development Settings
+   DISABLE_HTTPS_REDIRECT=true
+   
+   AZUREBLOB__ConnectionString=
+   AZUREBLOB__ContainerName=
+   FORMRECOGNIZER__Endpoint=
+   FORMRECOGNIZER__ApiKey=
+   
+   # JWT Authentication
+   JWT__Key=your-secret-key-here
+   JWT__Issuer=matchflow
+   JWT__Audience=matchflow-users
+   JWT__ExpiresInMinutes=60
+   ```
+   
+---
+
+### Configuration
+
+-   The Docker Compose network `invoice-net` connects both services.
+-   **backend** (host 8080 → container 80) reads your `.env` and runs in Production mode.
+-   **web** (host 3000 → container 80) uses `VITE_API_URL=http://backend/api`.
+
+> **Note:** Populate the `AZUREBLOB__*` and `FORMRECOGNIZER__*` keys in your `.env` file with the Azure resource details you set up in the Prerequisites section.
+
+---
+
+### Running the App
+
+From the project root:
+
+```bash
+docker-compose up --build
+```
+
+#### Additional Commands
+
+**Run in background:**
+```bash
+docker-compose up --build -d
+```
+
+**View logs:**
+```bash
+docker-compose logs -f
+```
+
+**Stop services:**
+```bash
+docker-compose down
+```
+    
+
+Once up, the frontend is available at:
+
+> **[http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)**
+
+and the API listens on:
+
+> **[http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080)**
+
