+# How to run
+
+### Follow these steps in this order to get things up and running!
+
+1. Make sure you are in the proper directory (this one)
+    1a. All of these commands expect you start from the root of the directory
+    1b. These all need to be running in their own terminal windows
+2. `cd Database/Dictionary`
+    2a. `./mvnw spring-boot:run`
+    2b. This can be run concurrently with #3
+3. `cd Database/GameDB`
+    2a. `./mvnw spring-boot:run`
+4. `cd Server\ Backend`
+    4a. `npm run start`
+5. `cd Server\ Frontend`
+    5a. `./gradlew desktop:dist`
+    5b. Move the `words.txt` files from the `core/assets` folder at root of the `Server Frontend` folder to the `desktop/build/libs` folder
+    5c. `cd desktop/build/libs`
+    5d. `java -jar desktop-1.3-beta1.jar -debug -ai`
+6. From step 4 of #5 (if you have to, repeat the steps above), `java -jar desktop-1.3-beta1.jar -debug -stats`
