+# Windows Development Setup Guide for WrongSecrets CTF Party
+
+This guide provides a step-by-step process for setting up the local development environment for WrongSecrets CTF Party on a Windows machine.
+
+## 1. Prerequisites
+
+Before you begin, you must install the following tools:
+- **Git:** [https://git-scm.com/downloads](https://git-scm.com/downloads) (Ensure **Git Bash** is installed)
+- **Docker Desktop for Windows:** [https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/)
+- **Minikube:** [https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/](https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/)
+- **Helm:** [https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/](https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/)
+- **kubectl:** (Included with Docker Desktop)
+- **yq:** [https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/#install](https://github.com/mikefarah/yq/#install)
+
+## 2. System Configuration
+
+These Windows-specific configurations are crucial for a successful setup.
+
+### a. Enable Hardware Virtualization (BIOS/UEFI)
+
+Minikube and Docker require hardware virtualization (VT-x or AMD-V) to be enabled in your computer's BIOS/UEFI. You will need to restart your computer and press a key (like `F2`, `F10`, or `DEL`) during boot to enter the setup menu. Search online for instructions specific to your computer model.
+
+### b. Configure Docker Desktop Memory (WSL 2)
+
+The project requires at least 11GB of RAM. You must configure Docker's WSL 2 backend to provide this memory.
+1.  Create a file named `.wslconfig` in your user profile folder (`C:\Users\YourName`).
+2.  Add the following content:
+    ```ini
+    [wsl2]
+    memory=12GB
+    ```
+3.  Restart the WSL service by running `wsl --shutdown` in PowerShell, then restart Docker Desktop.
+
+## 3. Manual Deployment Guide
+
+The included scripts have compatibility issues on Windows. A manual deployment is more reliable. Run these commands in **Git Bash**:
+
+1.  **Start Minikube Cluster:**
+    ```bash
+    minikube start --cpus=4 --memory=11000MB --driver=docker --network-plugin=cni --cni=calico
+    ```
+2.  **Update Helm Repositories:**
+    ```bash
+    helm repo update
+    ```
+3.  **Deploy the Application:**
+    ```bash
+    helm upgrade --install wrongsecrets ./helm/wrongsecrets-ctf-party
+    ```
+4.  **Check Pod Status:**
+    ```bash
+    kubectl get pods --watch
+    ```
+    Wait for `wrongsecrets-balancer` to be `Running` and `1/1`, then press `Ctrl + C`.
+
+5.  **Access the Application:**
+    In a new terminal, run:
+    ```bash
+    kubectl port-forward service/wrongsecrets-balancer 3000:3000
+    ```
+   The application is now available at `http://localhost:3000`.
