 # OpenDC Web Server
+
+## Setup
+
+The following steps will guide you through setting up the OpenDC web server locally for development. To test individual endpoints, edit `static/index.html`. This guide was tested and developed on Windows 10.
+
+Make sure you have Python 2.7 installed (if not, get it [here](https://www.python.org/)), as well as pip (if not, get it [here](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/)). Then run the following to install the requirements.
+
+```bash
+pip install flask
+pip install flask_socketio
+pip install oauth2client
+pip install eventlet
+```
+
+Clone both this repository and the main OpenDC repository, from the same base directory.
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/tudelft-atlarge/opendc-web-server.git
+git clone https://github.com/tudelft-atlarge/opendc.git
+```
+
+Set up the database, replacing `PATH_TO_DATABASE` with where you'd like to create the SQLite database. (This will replace any file named `opendc.db` at the location `PATH_TO_DATABASE`.)
+
+```bash
+python opendc/database/rebuild-database.py "PATH_TO_DATABASE"
+```
+
+Create a file `KEYS.json` in `opendc-web-server`, containing the following. Replace `BASE_DIRECTORY` with the base directory in which you cloned `opendc` and `opendc-web-server`. Replace `OAUTH_CLIENT_ID` with your OAuth client ID (see the [OpenDC README](https://github.com/tudelft-atlarge/opendc#preamble)). Replace `PATH_TO_DATABASE` with where you created the database.
+
+```json
+{
+    "ROOT_DIR": "BASE_DIRECTORY",
+    "OAUTH_CLIENT_ID": "OAUTH_CLIENT_ID",
+    "DATABASE_LOCATION": "PATH_TO_DATABASE\\opendc.db",
+    "FLASK_SECRET": "FLASK_SECRET"
+}
+```
+
+In `opendc-web-server/static/index.html`, add your own `OAUTH_CLIENT_ID` in `control=`.
+
+Run the server.
+
+```bash
+cd ../opendc-web-server
+python main.py "PATH_TO_DATABASE\\opendc.db"
+```
