Summary
New contributors have no single documented path for getting the server running locally from a fresh clone. They end up piecing together setup steps from scattered files which leads to friction and abandoned onboarding attempts.
Scope
- Document prerequisites: Node version, database engine, Stellar testnet RPC access
- Step-by-step setup: clone, install dependencies, copy env file, run migrations, seed the database
- Explain how to start the API server and the indexer separately
- Add a section on verifying the setup: expected health check response and first creator list response
Acceptance Criteria
ETA: 12 hours
Coordinate on Telegram
