+# Ralph development environment
+
+## Requirements
+
+Make sure your host has the following requirements installed and
+properly configured, if required:
+
+1.  Docker 24.0.0 or later
+1.  docker-compose
+
+## Setting up Ralph in PyCharm IDE
+
+From **Settings... -> Project: ralph -> Project Interpreters** choose **Add Interpreter -> On Docker**
+
+Choose docker/Dockerfile-local-interpreter as Dockerfile and change context to "."
+
+If you are using non amd64 architecture (ie. Apple Silicon), under Options -> Build options: add ```--platform linux/amd64```. Keep in mind, that this requires amd64 emulation in your docker environment.

+
+After clicking Next, image should be successfully created and next step should provide you with proper path to interpreter:
+
+![setup_docker_path.png](img%2Fsetup_docker_path.png)
+
+Properly created environment should show all packages required by Ralph:

+
+## Running local instance of Ralph from source code
+
+To run local Ralph from source code using docker-compose issue this command:
+```docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose-local-dev.yml up```
+
+All required services should be started and your local ralph instance should be accessible on http://localhost:8000
