+# Dependencies: Python 12
+
+## Setup
+1. In the `matching-service` directory, run `python -m venv .venv` to create a virtual environment.
+2. Run `source .venv/bin/activate` for mac or `.\.venv\Scripts\activate` for windows to activate the virtual environment.
+3. Run `pip install -r requirements.txt` to install all necessary dependencies.
+4. Ensure you have a `.env` file in `matching-service` with the question service mongoDB uri. 
+5. To start the service, run `fastapi dev app/main.py`
+
+Note: For VSCode to properly detect the venv, open the project with `matching-service` as the root directory. If not, VSCode will not detect the venv properly and will scream at you for everything.
