-This is a [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/) project bootstrapped with [`create-next-app`](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/packages/create-next-app).
+# PackagePlus
 
-## Getting Started
+PackagePlus is an open-source web application that allows users to upload their `package.json` files and compare versions, licenses, and security scores of the packages listed in the file
 
-First, run the development server:
+## Features
 
-```bash
-npm run dev
-# or
-yarn dev
-# or
-pnpm dev
-```
+- Upload `package.json` files and analyze package details.
+- Compare package versions to identify outdated dependencies.
+- Verify license compatibility and highlight any potential issues.
+- Calculate security scores based on vulnerability databases.
 
-Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) with your browser to see the result.
+## Installation
 
-You can start editing the page by modifying `pages/index.tsx`. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.
+To run PackagePlus locally, follow these steps:
 
-[API routes](https://nextjs.org/docs/api-routes/introduction) can be accessed on [http://localhost:3000/api/hello](http://localhost:3000/api/hello). This endpoint can be edited in `pages/api/hello.ts`.
+- Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/poorna-prakash-sr/packageplus
+- Navigate to the project directory: `cd PackagePlus`
+- Configure the environment variables: `cp .env.example .env`
+- Install dependencies: `yarn`
+- Start the application: `yarn api && yarn dev`
+- Access the application in your browser at http://localhost:3000
 
-The `pages/api` directory is mapped to `/api/*`. Files in this directory are treated as [API routes](https://nextjs.org/docs/api-routes/introduction) instead of React pages.
