+2. (Optional) If you are using [Defang BYOC](https://docs.defang.io/docs/concepts/defang-byoc) authenticate with your cloud provider account
+3. (Optional for local development) [Docker CLI](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/)
 
-## Essential Setup Files
+## Development
 
-1. A [Dockerfile](https://docs.docker.com/develop/develop-images/dockerfile_best-practices/).
-2. A [compose file](https://docs.defang.io/docs/concepts/compose) to define and run multi-container Docker applications (this is how Defang identifies services to be deployed). (compose.yaml file)
+To run the application locally, you can use the following command:
 
-## Prerequisite
+```bash
+docker compose up --build
+```
 
-1. Download [Defang CLI](https://github.com/DefangLabs/defang)
-2. If you are using [Defang BYOC](https://docs.defang.io/docs/concepts/defang-byoc), make sure you have properly [authenticated your AWS account (optional)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-configure.html)
+## Configuration
