 Agile and transparent data platforms are vital in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. HelloDATA BE tries to help by offering an open-source solution tailored to enterprise needs. Our mission is to democratize data and provide end-to-end- innovation-driven data handling. [Learn More](docs/docs/vision/vision-and-goal.md).

 ## Quick Start
 
-Change directory to `hello-data-deployment/docker-compose` and run the following command:
+**Essential Setup**
+1. **Docker Desktop Settings**: For Mac users, adjust Docker Desktop settings for multi-platform support (especially for arm64-chip users). [Details](hello-data-deployment/docker-compose/README.md#mac).
+2. **Hosts File Entry**: Ensure `127.0.0.1 host.docker.internal` is added to `/etc/hosts`. For Windows enable in Docker Desktop WSL settings [How to](hello-data-deployment/docker-compose/README.md#prepare-environment).
+
+**Start-Up Instructions**
 
+Change directory to `hello-data-deployment/docker-compose` and run:
 ```sh
 docker-compose up -d
 ```
 
-This will take a while to pull all images and wramp up the containers. Check the webportal at [localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080) when everything is up and running. Default user/password is admin/admin for the admin user.
+Pulling all images and starting up the containers will take a while. Once completed, access the web portal at [localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080) (default: admin/admin).

 ## FAQ
 
-- **Platform architecture:** If you are on a Mac or another `arm64` architecture, you mostly likely get the message `requested image's platform (linux/amd64) does not match the detected host platform (linux/arm64/v8) and no specific platform was requested`. It should still work, but much slower. Ensure you use the latest Docker Desktop and enable `Use Rosetta for x86/amd64 emulation on Apple Silicon` under `Settings -> General`. This setting substantially boosts the speed of non-native containers. Find more on [Docker Desktop Settings](https://docs.docker.com/desktop/settings/mac/?uuid=740D92D0-4D7C-4DD7-9DFD-8AF8D62F42F7) and [Multi-platform images](https://docs.docker.com/build/building/multi-platform/).
 - **Filebrowser login:** `admin/admin`. After successful login, the user should see the dbt-docs shared storage. Also, files can be opened in local file explorer from `./docker-compose/shared` path.
