+# Backend for Minimal Non-Persistent chat
+
+Built in TypeScript 4.5 with rollup
+
+## Install
+
+Run the command `yarn install`  
+(or the equivalent in your package manager of choice).
+
+## Build
+
+Run the command `yarn build`
+(or the equivalent in your package manager of choice).
+
+This will run rollup with the project's `rollup.config.js`.  
+Alternatively, you can run rollup manually without a package manager.  
+(cf. [rollup's guide](https://rollupjs.org/guide/) for a how-to)
+
+## Run
+
+Run the command `yarn start`
+(or the equivalent in your package manager of choice).
+
+The compiled script does not take any parameters.  
+Any configuration needs to be done in-source, before the [building step](#build).
+
+This will run the compiled JavaScript file with the environment's `node` executable.  
+Alternatively, manually run `<your node path>/node ./server.node.bundle.js`
+
+
+#### This package has only been tested on Linux.
