-### Running the Project Using Docker
-
-#### 1. Clone the repository:
+### Setup
 
-```bash
+```sh
 git clone https://github.com/dicedb/playground-mono
+cd playground-mono
+cp .env.sample .env
 ```
 
-#### 2. Navigate to the project directory:
+> The default values of .env files works just fine, but
+> feel free to tweak them as per your environment.
 
-```bash
-cd playground-mono
-```
+### Run
 
-#### 3. Copy the sample environment file:
+#### Pre-requisite
 
-```bash
-cp .env.sample .env
-```
-This creates the `.env` file, which stores your environment variables. Make sure to update any necessary values inside this file before running the server.
+Playground-mono requires two running instances of DiceDB one on port `7379` and
+other on port `7380`.
 
-#### 4. Start the application using Docker Compose:
+To setup and run DiceDB locally, please refer to the
+[README.md file of DiceDB/dice](https://github.com/DiceDB/dice/blob/master/README.md).
 
-```bash
-docker compose up -d
-```
-This command will pull any necessary Docker images, build the containers, and run them in detached mode (`-d`).
+> If you do not want to run two instances, due to hardware limitations, you can run one
+> and change the .env file and update the appropriate values
 
-#### 5. Verify the server is running:
+#### Start the server
 
-Open your browser and go to:
+Once you have DiceDB running, run the following command and that will start
+the playground-mono server on port `8080`.
 
 ```bash
-http://localhost:8080/health
+make run
 ```
-This endpoint should return a status indicating that the server is up and running.
