 Ensure you have the following installed on your system:
 
 - Docker
-- Go 1.21 or later
-- PostgreSQL (for local development, optional)
+- Python 3.10 or later
+- pip
 
 ### Setting Up the Project
 
 1. **Clone the Repository**  
 
    ```bash
-   git clone https://github.com/rideaware/rideaware-api.git
+   git clone https://github.com/VeloInnovate/rideaware-api.git
    cd rideaware-api
    ```
 
-2. **Install Go Dependencies**  
+2. **Create a Virtual Environment**  
+   It is recommended to use a Python virtual environment to isolate dependencies.
    
-   ```bash
-   go mod tidy
+	```bash
+   python3 -m venv .venv
    ```
 
-3. **Build the Application**
+3. **Activate the Virtual Environment**
+   - On Linux/Mac:
+     ```bash
+     source .venv/bin/activate
+     ```
+   - On Windows:
+     ```cmd
+     .venv\Scripts\activate
+     ```
+
+4. **Install Requirements**
+   Install the required Python packages using pip:
    ```bash
-   go build -o rideaware-api
+   pip install -r requirements.txt
    ```
 
 ### Configuration
 
 The application uses environment variables for configuration. Create a `.env` file in the root directory and define the following variables:
 
-```env
-# Database Configuration
-PG_HOST=your_postgres_host
-PG_PORT=5432
-PG_DATABASE=rideaware
-PG_USER=your_postgres_user
-PG_PASSWORD=your_postgres_password
-
-# Application Configuration
-# SECRET_KEY should be a random 32+ byte string; rotate on compromise.
-SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key_for_sessions
-PORT=8080
-PG_SSLMODE=require  # use "disable" only for local dev
-
-# Email Configuration (Optional)
-SMTP_SERVER=your_smtp_server
-SMTP_PORT=465
-SMTP_USER=your_email@domain.com
-SMTP_PASSWORD=your_email_password
 ```
-
-### Running the Application
-
-#### Development Mode
-
-```bash
-go run main.go
+DATABASE=<your_database_connection_string>
 ```
-
-The application will be available at [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080).
-
-#### Production Mode
-
-```bash
-./rideaware-api
-```
-
-### API Endpoints
-
-- `GET /health` - Health check endpoint
-- `POST /auth/signup` - User registration
-- `POST /auth/login` - User authentication
-- `POST /auth/logout` - User logout
+- Replace `<your_database_connection_string>` with the URI of your database (e.g., SQLite, PostgreSQL).

-### Example Dockerfile
-
-```dockerfile
-FROM golang:1.21-alpine AS builder
-
-WORKDIR /app
-COPY go.mod go.sum ./
-RUN go mod download
-
-COPY . .

-WORKDIR /root/
-
-COPY --from=builder /app/rideaware-api .
-CMD ["./rideaware-api"]

-
-### Database Migration
-
-The application automatically runs database migrations on startup using GORM's AutoMigrate feature. This will create the necessary tables:
-
-- `users` - User accounts
-- `user_profiles` - User profile information
+The application will be available at http://127.0.0.1:5000.
 
 ### Running Tests
 
-To run tests:
-
-```bash
-go test ./...
-```
-
-To run tests with coverage:
-
-```bash
-go test -cover ./...
-```
-
-### Development
-
-To add new features:
-
-1. Create models in the `models/` directory
-2. Add business logic in the `services/` directory  
-3. Define API routes in the `routes/` directory
-4. Register routes in `main.go`
+To be added.
