+### Database setup
+Please follow the official tutorial on installing and running the latest Mongo database which can be found on this link:
+> https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-windows/
+
+### Project setup
+In order to run our project you need to clone it from [git](https://git.dilig.net/stefan.stamenovic/diligent-node-api) first. Open terminal (cmd and powershell work as well) in folder that you want this project to be and run command
+> git clone http://git.dilig.net/stefan.stamenovic/diligent-node-api.git
+
+After cloning project you can open it with your preferred IDE/Code editor if you want to see the code. Before running project you need to open terminal and run command
+> npm install
+
+Running that command will download all necessary npm packages to run the project.
+
+After that you want to move to src directory
+> cd src
+
+Now you can run the project using
+> node server.js
+
