+# Instructions
+## Setup development environment
+### Front end configuration
+Edit the .env file in traque-front and add specify the following values:
+```
+NEXT_PUBLIC_SOCKET_HOST = 'example.com'
+NEXT_PUBLIC_SOCKET_PORT = 3000
+```
+Where NEXT_PUBLIC_SOCKET_HOST is the host of the socket server and NEXT_PUBLIC_SOCKET_PORT is the port of the socket server.
+### Back end configuration
+Edit the .env file in traque-back and add specify the following values:
+```
+HOST = 'example.com'
+PORT = 3001
+SSL_KEY = "/path/to/privkey.pem"
+SSL_CERT = "/path/to/cert.pem"
+ADMIN_PASSWORD = 'admin_password_here'
+MAX_PENALTIES = 3
+ALLOWED_TIME_OUT_OF_ZONE_IN_MINUTES = 10
+ALLOWED_TIME_BETWEEN_POSITION_UPDATE_IN_MINUTES = 10
+```
+Where ADMIN_PASSWORD is the password for the admin user, HOST is the host of the server, PORT is the port of the server, SSL_KEY is the path to the key file and SSL_CERT is the path to the certificate file. 
+The SSL_KEY and SSL_CERT are used for HTTPS and are required for the server to work. This is because the browser will block the GeoLocation API if the connection is not secure.
+MAX_PENALTIES is the maximum number of penalties a user can have before loosing the game.
+ALLOWED_TIME_OUT_OF_ZONE_IN_MINUTES is the time a user can be out of the zone before being penalized.
+ALLOWED_TIME_BETWEEN_POSITION_UPDATE_IN_MINUTES is the maximum amount of time a user can wait before updating their position, after this period they will recieve a pennalty.
+
+### Running the project
+#### Front end
+To run the front end, navigate to the traque-front directory and run the following commands:
+```
+npm install
+npm run dev
+```
+#### Back end
+To run the back end, navigate to the traque-back directory and run the following commands:
+```
+npm install
+npm start

+```
+https://example.com:3000
+```
