+## <a name="setup"></a> Setting up your Environment
+
+To set up your environment to work on angular-split, follow these steps:
+
+1. **Fork the repository** on GitHub to your own account.
+2. **Clone the repository** to your local machine
+3. **Install the dependencies**: `npm install`
+
+   > Note: If you are using a version of Node.js that is not supported by angular-split, you might need to use `nvm` (Node Version Manager) to switch to a compatible version. The recommended version is Node.js 22.x LTS or later.
+
+4. **build and run the project by**: `npm run start --watch`
+
+For windows users, we expect you to use the WSL, as we set up the project to work with github actions. Make sure to check out the project and run the commands in the WSL terminal.
+It might work outside the WSL when you delete the `package-lock.json` file, but we cannot guarantee that it will work. (also, make sure you don't commit that `package-lock.json`, as it will break the build for other users).
