-# Working with URCPP
-
-## Important things to know before developing
-
-  - Uses Python 2.7
-  - There is still sqlite code in here, but we are using mysql
-
-## Quick Installation Guide with Docker
-
-1. Ensure that you have the proper binaries installed by running `which docker docker-compose` and verifying the output (there should be a path for both). New student VMs should already be ready. If you do not have them, install them.
-	* `sudo apt-get install docker.io`
-	* Use the Linux instructions from https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/
-	* Your user should be in the docker group or you will need sudo privileges.
-2. Clone this repository.
-3. In your new repo directory, use docker-compose to start your application.
-	* `docker-compose up`
-	
-4. If this is successful, access your application at your server + the port
-	* If on your computer: http://localhost:8080
-	* If on your student VM, use that IP: e.g., http://172.31.3.69:8080
-5. The application data will persist in your docker/data/db/ directory. To re-initialize it, use the appropriate script in tools/.
-6. To understand more about using Docker and docker-compose, read http://172.31.2.178/en/docker.
-
-## Manual Installation Guide
-
-### Necessary packages and configuration
-1. Ensure you have the necessary packages to run this application.
-	* `apt install git mysql-server python2.7 python-pip virtualenv`
-2. You must be using Python 2.7
-	* If you are unsure how to fix this, read http://172.31.2.178/en/python-versions
-3. Ensure you have access to the git repo using ssh keys
-	* Try and clone this repository. If it doesn't work, do the next step
-	* Paste your public key into bitbucket
-	* If you are unsure how to get your key, read http://172.31.2.178/en/ssh
-4. Clone this repo.
-
-### Database Setup
-1. Ensure MySQL is running, with the proper root password set
-	* test with `mysql -u root --password="root"` 
-	* if you can't connect and you do not have sudo privileges, someone will have to set this up for you
-	* `sudo systemctl start mysql`
-	* `echo "ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'root'; flush privileges;" | sudo mysql -u root --password=root`
-2. Create the user and database
-	* This will erase any existing data!
-	* There will be ignorable errors if this is the initial setup.
-	* Run `./erase_mysql_db_and_use_real_data.sh` from the tools directory.
-3. Edit the application configuration for your db host.
-  * In `api/config.yaml`, change your database host from "db" to your mysql host (e.g., "localhost")
-
-### Application Setup
-1. Initialize the application: `./setup.sh`
-2. Activate your virtual environment: `source venv/bin/activate`
-3. Run the application: `python api.py`
-4. If this is successful, access your application at your server + the port
-	* If on your computer: http://localhost:8080
-	* If on your student VM, use that IP: e.g., http://172.31.3.69:8080
-5. The application data will persist in mysql database. To re-initialize it, use the appropriate script in tools/.
-
-## Customization and Troubleshooting
-
-### Database Config
-
-### Common Errors
-  * If you run into this error `bind: address already in use`, run the following command:
-   `sudo systemctl stop mysql`
-
-
-
-### OLD BITS 
-4. run `phpmyadmin-ctl install` to run the phpmyadmin client.
-5. navigate to the phpmyadmin interface
-
+## Requirements
+- Python2.7
+- linux, unix, mac, windows(with attachments), Ubuntu
+- virtualenv
+- mysql and python mysql-db
+
+## Setup
+1. In your working environment, clone the URCPP Repo:
+- `https://github.com/BCStudentSoftwareDevTeam/urcpp` as of 02/10/2022
+3. Pull the most recent changes
+4. Run `source setup.sh`
+
+## Create database with Phpmyadmin
+
+5. Go to your Phpmyadmin interface and log in with your credentials
+- Located here: `http://0.0.0.0/phpmyadmin/`
+Make sure to replace 0.0.0.0 with your server's IP address
+6. Create a new database named `urcpp_flask`
+- If a database of that name already exists, drop it and create it again
+7. Create a user named `urcpp_flask` with password `DanforthLabor123!`
+8. Grant all permissions on the database `urcpp_flask` to `urcpp_flask`
+Continue to step 14.
+
+## Create database using MYSQL commands
+
+9. In your terminal use the command `mysql -u root -p`. You will be prompted to enter your password
+10. Create the database: ` CREATE DATABASE urcpp_flask; `
+11. Create a user with given password:  ` CREATE USER 'urcpp_flask'@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'DanforthLabor123!'; `
+12. Grant all permissions: ` GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON 'urcpp_flask' . * TO 'urcpp_flask'@localhost; `
+13. Make sure permissions take effect: ` flush privileges; `
+
+## Continue from here again
+14. Run `python api.py`
