+
+Supermarket-API is a service providing functionality for cataloging produce and their prices.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+To start `supermarket-api` you will need to create an `.env` file at `cmd/api/.env`. A convenience example with sane defaults is located at `cmd/api/example.env` and you can create your environment file by running:
+
+```
+~$ cp cmd/api/example.env cmd/api/.env
+```
+
+Supermarket-API has a Makefile with commonly ran commands. To use the Makefile append the command to `make` in your terminal:
+
+```
+~$ make run
+```
