 # Backend Technical Write Up
 
+## Setup
+
+- Install `pdm`
+- Install dependencies with `pdm sync`
+- Run development backend with `pdm run dev`
+- Run tests with `pdm run test`
+
+### Setup for Developmentk
+
+- run `eval $(pdm venv activate in-project)` to activate the virtual env.
+
 ## Structure
 
 - Use FastAPI's `router` to organize different API routes
