 Now we can clone the repo. Remember, all development must be in WSL so we will clone the repo in WSL. So inside of WSL, I like to create a folder called `dev` inside my home folder, but feel free to clone it anywhere else inside of WSL. Ensure git is installed in WSL with `sudo apt install git -y`

+You will need a database to work with. There is a provided `docker-compose.yml` file to spin up a Postgres database for development. Navigate to the `web/docker/dev-postgress` directory and run `docker compose up -d`. This will spin up the database. You can stop it by running `docker compose down` in the same directory. To check running docker containers you can run `docker ps`.

 Now you need to fill out an environment file for local development. Create a `.env` file in `web/.env`. Add this information or changed with the relevant details related to how you set up your database.
 
 ```env
