+# Setting Up Docker for Development and Production
+
+Hexabot uses Docker for development purposes as well as streamline deployment, running essential services like the API, frontend, and MongoDB in containers. The provided Docker Compose setup ensures quick and consistent startup, eliminating manual configuration complexities.
+
+{% hint style="info" %}
+The following is an example on how to install Docker on a Ubuntu machine. If you have a different OS, please check the official guide on how to install Docker on your system [https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/) 
+{% endhint %}
+
+1. Set up Docker's apt repository:
+
+```bash
+ # Add Docker's official GPG key:
+ sudo apt-get update
+ sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl
+ sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
+ sudo curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
+ sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
+
+ # Add the repository to Apt sources:
+ echo 
+ \"deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
+ $(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME") stable" | \
+ sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
+ 
+ sudo apt-get update
+```
+
+2. Install Docker Community Edition:
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
+```
+
+3. Check if Docker is running:
+
+<pre class="language-bash"><code class="lang-bash"><strong>sudo systemctl status docker
+</strong></code></pre>
+
+4. Add your user to the Docker group:
+
+```bash
+sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
+```
+
+5. To apply the new group membership, log out of the server and back in, or type the following:
+
+```bash
+su - ${USER}
+```

+# Setup Node.js with NVM
+
+Node.js is a pre-requisite to run both the Hexabot CLI and a Hexabot project since the API is built on NestJS. Using [NVM](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) (Node Version Manager) simplifies managing the required Node.js version. When creating a new Hexabot project, the structure includes source folders like **extensions** to add custom plugins, helpers and channels, making Node.js essential tool for smooth development and customization.
+
+If you are new to NVM, please follow these steps to install:
+
+1. Update the system:
+
+```bash
+sudo apt update
+```
+
+2. Install NVM:
+
+```bash
+curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.40.1/install.sh | bash
+```
+
+Close and reopen your terminal to start using nvm or run the following to use it now:
+
+```bash
+export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
+[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"  # This loads nvm
+[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion"  # This loads nvm bash_completion
+```
+
+3. Verify the NVM installation:
+
+```bash
+nvm --version
+```
+
+4. Install Node.js version 18.17.0 or higher :
+
+```bash
+nvm install 18.17.0
+```
+
+5. Check default Node.js version:
+
+```bash
+node --version
+```
