 Dit is de monorepo voor [Dwengo-1](https://sel2-1.ugent.be), een interactief leerplatform waar leerkrachten opdrachten
 en lessen kunnen samenstellen hun leerlingen en hun vooruitgang kunnen opvolgen.

 ## Installatie

+Om de applicatie in te stellen voor een productieomgeving, volg
+de [installatiehandleiding](https://github.com/SELab-2/Dwengo-1/wiki/Administrator:-Productie-omgeving).
+
+Alternatief kan je één van de volgende methodes gebruiken om de applicatie lokaal te draaien.
+
 ### Quick start

-1. Installeer Docker en Docker Compose op je systeem (zie [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) en [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/)).
+1. Installeer Docker en Docker Compose op je systeem (zie [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/)

 2. Clone deze repository.
-3. Voer `docker compose up` uit in de root van de repository.
+3. In de backend, kopieer `.env.example` (of `.env.development.example`) naar `.env` en pas de variabelen aan waar
+   nodig.
+4. Voer `docker compose up` uit in de root van de repository.
+5. Optioneel: Configureer de applicatie aan de hand van
+   de [configuratiehandleiding](https://github.com/SELab-2/Dwengo-1/wiki/Administrator:-Productie-omgeving#dwengo-1-configuratie).

 ```bash
 docker compose version
 git clone https://github.com/SELab-2/Dwengo-1.git
-cd Dwengo-1
+cd Dwengo-1/backend
+cp .env.example .env
+# Pas .env aan
+nano .env
+cd ..
 docker compose up
+# Configureer de applicatie
 ```

 ### Handmatige installatie
