+## 🛠️ Step 2: Set Up the Project
+
+### 2.1 Clone the Repository
+
+Open **PowerShell** or **Command Prompt**:
+
+```powershell
+# Clone the repository
+git clone https://github.com/makeplane/plane.git plane-project
+
+# Navigate into the directory
+cd plane-project
+```
+
+### 2.2 Run the Setup Script
+
+**Option A: Using PowerShell (Recommended)**
+
+```powershell
+# Run the setup script
+.\setup-windows.ps1
+```
+
+**Option B: Using Batch File**
+
+```cmd
+# Double-click setup-windows.bat in File Explorer
+# OR run in Command Prompt:
+setup-windows.bat
+```
+
+This will:
+- ✅ Check prerequisites
+- ✅ Create environment files
+- ✅ Generate security keys
+- ✅ Install dependencies (takes 5-10 minutes)
+
+**⏰ Go grab a coffee while dependencies install!**
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Step 3: Start the Application
+
+### 3.1 Start Docker Services
+
+In PowerShell/CMD:
+
+```powershell
+docker compose -f docker-compose-local.yml up -d
+```
+
+This starts:
+- PostgreSQL database
+- Redis cache
+- RabbitMQ message queue
+- MinIO file storage
+
+**Wait ~30 seconds** for all services to start.
+
+Verify services are running:
+```powershell
+docker compose -f docker-compose-local.yml ps
+```
+
+You should see all services with status "Up".
+
+### 3.2 Start Development Servers
+
+In a **new PowerShell/CMD window**:
+
+```powershell
+pnpm dev
+```
+
+This starts all frontend applications:
+- **Web app** (main dashboard) - port 3000
+- **Admin panel** - port 3001
+- **Space** (public sharing) - port 3002
+- **Live server** (real-time) - port 3100
+
+**Wait ~2-3 minutes** for the build to complete.
+
+You'll see output like:
+```
+✓ Built in XXXXms
+Local:   http://localhost:3000/
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🌐 Step 4: Access the Application
+
+### 4.1 Register as Instance Admin
+
+1. Open your browser to: **http://localhost:3001/god-mode/**
+2. Fill in the registration form:
+   - Email
+   - Password
+   - Name
+3. Click **"Submit"**
+
+This creates your admin account.
+
+### 4.2 Log In to Main App
+
+1. Open: **http://localhost:3000**
+2. Log in with the same credentials from step 4.1
+3. Create your first workspace
+4. Start creating projects and issues!

+apps/live/                          # Can be removed entirely
+apps/web/app/routes/pages/          # Remove pages routes
+packages/editor/                     # May still be used in issues
+
+# Database migrations to create (mark pages as deprecated)
+# Update navigation to remove Pages link
+# Remove Pages from API endpoints
+```
+
+**Estimated Effort:** Medium (1-2 weeks)
+
+#### 2. **Public Space (Public Issue Sharing)**
+
+**Reasons to Remove:**
+- May not need public issue tracking
+- Security concerns with public data

+# Update docker-compose files
+# Remove space-related API endpoints
+```
+
+**Estimated Effort:** Low (2-3 days)
+
+#### 3. **Modules**
+
+**Reasons to Consider Removal:**
+- May overlap with other organizational structures
+- Cycles (Sprints) might be sufficient
+- Simplifies project hierarchy
+
+**How to Remove:**
+```bash
+# API changes:
+apps/api/plane/app/views/module/    # Remove module views
+
+# Frontend changes:
+apps/web/app/routes/modules/        # Remove module routes
+
+# Database:
+# Create migration to deprecate module tables
+```
+
+**Estimated Effort:** Medium (1-2 weeks)
+

+## 🛠️ Technical Considerations
+
+### 1. Monorepo Architecture
+
+**Current Structure:**
+```
+Turborepo + pnpm workspaces
+├── apps/        # Applications
+└── packages/    # Shared libraries
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ Code sharing across apps
+- ✅ Unified build system
+- ✅ Consistent dependencies
+
+**Considerations:**
+- Large codebase - may be slow on older machines
+- All apps share Node.js version
+- Build times can be long
+
+**Recommendation:** Keep monorepo structure unless you plan to drastically simplify
+
+### 2. Database Schema
+
+**Current Database:** PostgreSQL with comprehensive schema
+
+**Before Making Changes:**
+1. ✅ Review existing migrations
+2. ✅ Create backup before schema changes
+3. ✅ Test migrations in development
+4. ✅ Plan rollback strategy
+
+**Key Tables:**
+- `workspaces` - Multi-tenancy
+- `projects` - Projects within workspaces
+- `issues` - Core work items
+- `cycles` - Sprint/iteration management
+- `states` - Issue states/statuses
+- `labels` - Labels and tags
+- `users` - User accounts
+
+### 3. API Design
+
+**Current API:** Django REST Framework
+
+**API Versioning:**
+```
+/api/v1/workspaces/
+/api/v1/projects/
+/api/v1/issues/
+```
+
+**When Adding Features:**
+- Maintain backward compatibility
+- Version breaking changes
+- Update API documentation (Swagger)
+- Test with existing clients
+
+### 4. Real-time Architecture
+
+**Current Setup:** Hocuspocus + Yjs (CRDT)
+
+**Resource Requirements:**
+- Separate Node.js server (port 3100)
+- WebSocket connections
+- Memory-intensive for large documents
+
+**If Removing Pages:**
+- Consider removing live server entirely
+- Reduce infrastructure costs
+- Simplify deployment
+
+### 5. Performance Optimization
+
+**Areas to Optimize:**
+
+1. **Frontend Bundle Size**
+   - Code splitting
+   - Lazy loading routes
+   - Tree shaking unused code
+
+2. **Database Queries**
+   - Add indexes for common queries
+   - Optimize N+1 queries
+   - Implement query caching
+
+3. **API Response Times**
+   - Redis caching
+   - Database connection pooling
+   - Async task processing
+
+4. **Asset Delivery**
+   - CDN for static assets
+   - Image optimization
+   - Gzip compression
+
+### 6. Security Hardening
+
+**Checklist:**
+
+- [ ] Enable HTTPS in production
+- [ ] Configure CORS properly
+- [ ] Set up rate limiting
+- [ ] Enable CSRF protection
+- [ ] Sanitize user inputs
+- [ ] Regular dependency updates
+- [ ] Security audit of custom code

+
+## 🛠️ Project Setup
+
+### Step 1: Clone the Repository
+
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone https://github.com/makeplane/plane.git plane-project
+cd plane-project
+```
+
+### Step 2: Run Setup Script
+
+#### On Linux/macOS:
+
+```bash
+chmod +x setup.sh
+./setup.sh
+```
+
+#### On Windows (PowerShell):
+
+```powershell
+# Use the Windows setup script
+.\setup-windows.ps1
+```
+
+This script will:
+- ✅ Copy all `.env.example` files to `.env`
+- ✅ Generate Django SECRET_KEY
+- ✅ Install Node.js dependencies with pnpm
+- ✅ Set up environment files for all services
+
+### Step 3: Verify Environment Files
+
+After running the setup script, you should have these `.env` files:
+
+```
+.env                    # Root environment (Docker services)
+apps/web/.env           # Web app environment
+apps/api/.env           # Django API environment
+apps/space/.env         # Space app environment
+apps/admin/.env         # Admin app environment
+apps/live/.env          # Live server environment
+```
+
+### Step 4: Configure Environment Variables (Optional)
+
+Review and customize `.env` files as needed:
+
+**Root `.env` (Docker services)**:
+```env
+# Database
+POSTGRES_USER=plane
+POSTGRES_PASSWORD=plane
+POSTGRES_DB=plane
+
+# Redis
+REDIS_HOST=plane-redis
+REDIS_PORT=6379
+
+# MinIO (S3)
+AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=access-key
+AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=secret-key
+USE_MINIO=1
+```
+
+**apps/web/.env**, **apps/admin/.env**, **apps/space/.env**:
+```env
+VITE_API_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8000
+VITE_WEB_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000
+VITE_ADMIN_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3001
+VITE_SPACE_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3002
+VITE_LIVE_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3100
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Running the Application
+
+### Step 1: Start Docker Services
+
+Start the backing services (PostgreSQL, Redis, RabbitMQ, MinIO):
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f docker-compose-local.yml up -d
+```
+
+This will start:
+- **plane-db**: PostgreSQL database (port 5432)
+- **plane-redis**: Redis cache (port 6379)
+- **plane-mq**: RabbitMQ message queue (port 5672, management on 15672)
+- **plane-minio**: MinIO object storage (port 9000, console on 9090)
+
+Verify services are running:
+```bash
+docker compose -f docker-compose-local.yml ps
+```
+
+### Step 2: Start Development Servers
+
+In a new terminal, start all frontend and backend services:
+
+```bash
+pnpm dev
+```
+
+This starts:
+- **Web app**: http://localhost:3000
+- **Admin app**: http://localhost:3001
+- **Space app**: http://localhost:3002
+- **Live server**: http://localhost:3100
+
+### Step 3: Start Backend API (Optional)
+
+If you want to run the Django API locally (instead of in Docker):
+
+#### First-time setup:
+
+```bash
+cd apps/api
+
+# Create virtual environment
+python -m venv venv
+
+# Activate virtual environment
+# On Windows:
+venv\Scripts\activate
+# On Linux/macOS:
+source venv/bin/activate
+
+# Install dependencies
+pip install -r requirements/local.txt
+
+# Run migrations
+python manage.py migrate
+
+# Create superuser
+python manage.py createsuperuser
+```
+
+#### Run the API server:
+
+```bash
+cd apps/api
+source venv/bin/activate  # Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
+python manage.py runserver 8000
+```
+
+#### Run Celery workers (in separate terminals):
+
+```bash
+# Worker
+cd apps/api
+source venv/bin/activate
+celery -A plane worker -l INFO
+
+# Beat scheduler
+cd apps/api
+source venv/bin/activate
+celery -A plane beat -l INFO

+## 🔧 Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+#### 1. Docker Services Won't Start
+
+**Problem**: `docker compose` fails or containers keep restarting
+
+**Solutions**:
+```bash
+# Check Docker is running
+docker info
+
+# Check logs
+docker compose -f docker-compose-local.yml logs
+
+# Reset everything
+docker compose -f docker-compose-local.yml down -v
+docker compose -f docker-compose-local.yml up -d
+```
+
+#### 2. Port Already in Use
+
+**Problem**: Error like "port 3000 is already allocated"
+
+**Solution**:
+```bash
+# Find process using the port (Windows)
+netstat -ano | findstr :3000
+taskkill /PID <PID> /F
+
+# Find process using the port (Linux/macOS)
+lsof -i :3000
+kill -9 <PID>
+```
+
+#### 3. pnpm install fails
+
+**Problem**: Dependency installation errors
+
+**Solutions**:
+```bash
+# Clear pnpm cache
+pnpm store prune
+
+# Delete node_modules and reinstall
+rm -rf node_modules
+rm pnpm-lock.yaml
+pnpm install
+
+# Ensure you have Node.js 22+
+node --version
+```
+
+#### 4. Out of Memory Errors
+
+**Problem**: Docker or Node processes crash with memory errors
+
+**Solutions**:
+- Increase Docker Desktop memory allocation (Settings → Resources → Memory)
+- Set to at least 8 GB (12 GB recommended)
+- Close unnecessary applications
+- Run fewer services concurrently
+
+#### 5. Database Connection Errors
+
+**Problem**: API can't connect to PostgreSQL
+
+**Solutions**:
+```bash
+# Check PostgreSQL is running
+docker compose -f docker-compose-local.yml ps plane-db
+
+# Check logs
+docker compose -f docker-compose-local.yml logs plane-db
+
+# Restart database
+docker compose -f docker-compose-local.yml restart plane-db
+
+# Verify connection
+docker exec -it plane-db psql -U plane -d plane
+```
+
+#### 6. MinIO Upload Errors
+
+**Problem**: File uploads fail
+
+**Solutions**:
+- Verify MinIO is running: http://localhost:9090
+- Login: `access-key` / `secret-key`
+- Ensure `uploads` bucket exists
+- Check `USE_MINIO=1` in `.env`

+# Ctrl+C in the pnpm dev terminal
+
+# View logs
+docker compose -f docker-compose-local.yml logs -f
+docker compose -f docker-compose-local.yml logs -f plane-db
+
+# Rebuild a specific service
+docker compose -f docker-compose-local.yml up -d --build plane-db
+
+# Clean everything (removes volumes)
+docker compose -f docker-compose-local.yml down -v
+pnpm clean
+```
+
+### Code Quality
+
+```bash
+# Lint all code

+pnpm dev
+
+# Live server only
+cd apps/live
+pnpm dev
+```
+
+### Database Operations
+
+```bash
+# Access PostgreSQL
+docker exec -it plane-db psql -U plane -d plane
+
+# Run migrations
+cd apps/api
+python manage.py migrate
