+## Getting Started
+
+> ⚠️ Docker support is planned but not fully implemented yet.
+> Full containerized deployment will be finalized once the backend reaches production readiness.
+> For now, please follow the manual setup below.
+
+#### 1️⃣ Clone the repository
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/rafiarrafif/SyzneTV-backend.git
+cd SyzneTV-backend
+```
+
+#### 2️⃣ Prepare Environment Variables
+
+Copy the example environment file:
+
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env
+```
+
+Then configure .env properly:
+
+- Database credentials
+- Redis configuration
+- SMTP configuration
+- Admin account credentials
+- Any other required environment variables
+
+> ⚠️ Make sure all required variables are filled correctly.
+> The application will fail to start if any critical configuration is missing.
+
+#### 3️⃣ Install Dependencies
+
+```bash
+bun install
+```
+
+#### 4️⃣ Run Database Migrations
+
+```bash
+bunx prisma deploy
+```
+
+#### 5️⃣ Seed Initial Data
+
+```bash
+bun run prisma:seed
+```
+
+#### 6️⃣ Run the Application
+
+**Development Mode**
+
+```bash
+bun run dev
+```
+
+**Production Mode**
+Build the application:
+
+```bash
+bun run build
+```
+
+Make the binary executable:
+
+```bash
+chmod +x ./dist/server
+```
+
+Run the server:
