+# SafeQR Spring Boot Project
+
+This is a Spring Boot project built with Java 17. This guide will help you set up the project and install the necessary dependencies using Maven.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before you begin, ensure you have the following software installed on your system:
+
+- **Java 17**: This project requires Java 17. You can download it from the [official Oracle website](https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-jdk17-downloads.html) or install it via a package manager (e.g., `sdkman` or `brew` on macOS).
+- **Maven 3.6+**: Apache Maven is used to manage the project's dependencies. You can download Maven from the [official Apache website](https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi) or install it via a package manager.
+
+## Installation
+
+Follow these steps to set up and run the project locally:
+
+### 1. Clone the Repository
+
+Clone the project repository to your local machine using the following command:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/safeqr/backend-springboot.git
+cd backend-springboot
+```
+
+### 2. Verify Java and Maven Installation
+
+Ensure that Java 17 and Maven are installed and available on your system by running the following commands:
+
+```bash
+java -version
+mvn -version
+```
+
+You should see output indicating that Java 17 and Maven 3.6+ are installed.
+
+### 3. Install Project Dependencies
+
+Navigate to the root directory of the project (if you haven't already) and run the following command to clean the project and install all necessary dependencies:
+
+```bash
+mvn clean install
+```
+
+This command will:
+
+- **Clean**: Remove any previously compiled files.
+- **Install**: Download all required dependencies as defined in the `pom.xml` file and compile the project.
+
+### 4. Run the Application
+
+Once the dependencies are installed, you can run the application with the following command:
+
+```bash
+mvn spring-boot:run
+```
+
+This will start the Spring Boot application, and you should see the application logs in the terminal. By default, the application will be available at `http://localhost:8080`.
+
+## Additional Information
+
+- **Configuration**: Any necessary configurations can be adjusted in the `application.properties` or `application.yml` files located in the `src/main/resources` directory.
+- **Building the Project**: To build a standalone JAR file, you can use `mvn package`, which will generate a JAR file in the `target` directory.
