## ⌨️ Setup

> Pleas note that Pingvin Share is in early stage and could include some bugs

1. Download the `docker-compose.yml` and `.env.example` file.
2. Rename the `.env.example` file to `.env` and change the environment variables so that they fit to your environment. If you need help with the environment variables take a look [here](#environment-variables)
3. Run `docker-compose up -d`

The website is now listening available on `http://localhost:3000`, have fun with Pingvin Share 🐧!
