+## 🛠 Local Development Requirements
+
+This project uses **Firebase** for authentication. To run the app locally, you need the environment variables (API keys) that are normally injected during deployment.
+
+### 1. Generate Local Environment Config
+We typically manage infrastructure via Terraform. Use the included helper script to fetch the configuration from your active Terraform state and create a local `.env` file:
+
+```bash
+npm run setup:env
+```
+
+*Prerequisites: You must have `terraform` and `jq` installed, and `terraform apply` must have been run at least once.*
+
+### 2. Start Dev Server
+```bash
+npm run dev
+```
 
 ### 2. Infrastructure Deployment
 Navigate to the `terraform` directory and apply the configuration:
