-# Install Air (optional but recommended for development)
-go install github.com/cosmtrek/air@latest
+# Or manually
+go mod download
 ```
 
 ### 2. Environment Setup
 
 Create a `.env` file in the root directory:
-
 ```env
 PORT=8080
 JWT_SECRET=your-secret-key-here
 DATABASE_URL=./data.db
 ```
 
 ### 3. Run Database Migrations
-
 ```bash
+# Using Makefile
+make migrate-up
+
+# Or manually
 go run cmd/migrate/main.go up
 ```
 
 ### 4. Run the Application
 
 **Option A: Using Air (Recommended for Development)**
-
 ```bash
+# Using Makefile
+make dev
+
+# Or manually
 air
 ```
 
 **Option B: Using Go directly**
-
 ```bash
