+# Getting Started
+
+- Ensure you are under the `./cli` folder from the root of the project
+- Run the cli tool with `npm run generate` from either the root of the project or the cli folder
+
+## Goals
+
+1. Enable developers to get up and running with the project quickly
+   a. The cli should include prompts for obtaining all the environment variables required by the project
+2. Enable developers to easily deploy their generated project to a free hosting platform such as [Heroku](https://www.heroku.com/) or [Zeit](https://zeit.co/)
+3. Enable developers to easily deploy to a paid service of their choice
+   a. The goal is to support [Google Cloud Platform](https://cloud.google.com), [Amazon Web Services](https://aws.amazon.com) and [Digital Ocean](https://digitalocean.com)
+4. Build in such a way that the cli can be the base for a web interface with the purpose of enabling non-technical people to configure and deploy their own version of the app - (Pipe Dream)
+
+## Desired Features
+
+1. Configure logo by pointing to local file
+2. Configure colors by pointing to a `.csv` or manually entering
+   a. Should support `rgb`, `rgba`, `hex` and `hsl` formats
+   b. Should support pointing to a local `.csv` file - (Would be nice to support `.tsv` as well)
+   c. We support up to three themes, default, dark and light
+
+3. Configure API Key for the DBP platform
+4. Specify versions that are available/permissioned - (Needs to have a sensible default, preferably to a public domain resource)
+5. Configure deployment options
+6. Configure any remaining environment variables - (things such as social media and such)
+
+## Development Steps
+
+1. Extract project into a \_source folder that can be used by the cli
+2. Implement way of prompting users and receiving feedback
+3. Use feedback to perform actions on the \_source files in line with achieving project goals
+4. Provide feedback to the user if the action they took was successful or not
+5. Create a way for the user to progress past or recover from a failure
+6. Research tools for auto-deployments to desired services
+   a. Make these prompts optional and easy to skip
+7. Launch the newly configured project in local browser for user to view their work
+
+## Tech to Use
+
+### Languages/Frameworks
+
+1. Typescript
+2. NodeJS
+
+### Services
+
+1. Google Cloud Platform
+2. Amazon Web Services
+3. Digital Ocean
+4. Heroku
+5. Zeit
