-## Developing
+## Development
 
-Once you've created a project and installed dependencies with `npm install` (or `pnpm install` or `yarn`), start a development server:
+*If this is your first time setting up the repository, please run `pnpm install` inside the repo's directory.*
 
+To get the repo up and running in your local environment, use the following command:
 ```bash
-npm run dev
-
-# or start the server and open the app in a new browser tab
-npm run dev -- --open
+pnpm run dev
 ```
 
-## Building
+> If you don't have `pnpm` available on your system, you can install it from the [official pnpm Installation website](https://pnpm.io/installation)
 
-To create a production version of your app:
+## Contributing
 
-```bash
