-# OpenRAG Development Guide
-
-Quick start commands using the Makefile for development and production workflows.
-
-## 🚀 Quick Start
-
-### First Time Setup
-```bash
-# Install all dependencies (backend + frontend)
-make install
-
-# Or install individually
-make install-frontend  # Frontend only
-uv sync                 # Backend only
-```
-
-### Development Mode
-```bash
-# Start both backend and frontend (recommended)
-make dev
-
-# Or run services individually
-make backend    # Backend only (http://localhost:8000)
-make frontend   # Frontend only (http://localhost:3000)
-
-# Alternative: Run both in parallel
-make dev-all
-```
-

-
-## 🌐 Service URLs
-
-- **Backend API**: http://localhost:8000
-- **Frontend**: http://localhost:3000
-- **Health Check**: http://localhost:8000/.well-known/openid-configuration
-
-## 📋 Environment Setup
-
-### Backend Environment Variables
-Create a `.env` file in the project root with:
-
-```env
-OPENSEARCH_HOST=localhost
-OPENSEARCH_PORT=9200
-OPENSEARCH_USERNAME=admin
-OPENSEARCH_PASSWORD=your_password
-LANGFLOW_URL=http://localhost:7860
-OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_key
-```
-
-### Manual Backend Run (Alternative)
-```bash
-# With inline environment variables
-OPENSEARCH_HOST=localhost OPENSEARCH_PORT=9200 OPENSEARCH_USERNAME=admin OPENSEARCH_PASSWORD=... \
-LANGFLOW_URL=http://localhost:7860 OPENAI_API_KEY=... \
-uv run python src/main.py
-
-# Using .env file (recommended)
-uv run python src/main.py
-```
-
-## 🔧 Development Workflow
-
-1. **Start Development**:
-   ```bash
-   make dev
-   ```
-
-2. **Check Services**:
-   ```bash
-   make check
-   ```
-
-3. **Run Tests & Linting**:
-   ```bash
-   make lint
-   make test
-   ```
-
-4. **Build for Production**:
-   ```bash
-   make build
-   ```
-
-## 🐳 Docker Development
-
-For containerized development:
-
-```bash
-# GPU mode (default)
-make docker-up
-
-# CPU mode
-make docker-up-cpu
-
-# Stop services
-make docker-down        # GPU mode
-make docker-down-cpu    # CPU mode
-```
-
-## 🆘 Troubleshooting
-
-### Common Issues
-
-**Backend not starting?**
-- Check your `.env` file exists and has required variables
-- Verify dependencies: `uv sync`
-- Test manually: `uv run python src/main.py`
-
-**Frontend not starting?**
-- Install dependencies: `make install-frontend`
-- Check Node.js version compatibility
-
-**Import errors?**
-- The Makefile sets `PYTHONPATH=src` automatically
-- For manual runs: `PYTHONPATH=src uv run python src/main.py`
-
-**Health check failing?**
-```bash
-make check
-# or
-curl http://localhost:8000/.well-known/openid-configuration
-```
