 ## 🚀 Deployment & Installation
 
-### 1. Initial Setup
+### Option A: Docker (Recommended)
 Clone this repository and start all services:
 
 ```bash
 git clone https://git.datadunia.com/nexusguard/Nexus-Guard-Suite.git
 cd Nexus-Guard-Suite
-cp .env.example .env        # Edit .env with your configuration
-make up                     # Start all services (PostgreSQL, Redis, Server-Core, Dashboard UI)
+./setup.sh                  # Generate .env file automatically
+# Edit .env with your configuration
+bash update.sh              # Pull, build, migrate, and start
 ```
 
 The first run will automatically:
-- Create the database schema via GORM AutoMigrate.
-- Boot up all required infrastructure via Docker Compose.
+- Pull the latest code and build the Docker containers (via `update.sh`).
+- Auto-generate the **Local Primary Node** WireGuard keys on the first boot.
+- Create the database schema via automated migration.
+
+### Option B: Native (Without Docker)
+
+If you prefer to run the components directly on your host machine, you will need **Go 1.25+**, **Node.js 24+**, **PostgreSQL**, and **Redis**.
+
+**1. Setup Database & Environment**
+Create a PostgreSQL database. Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and configure `DB_HOST`, `DB_USER`, `DB_PASSWORD`, and `DB_NAME` to point to your local database.
+
+**2. Start Backend (Server Core)**
+```bash
+cd apps/server-core
+go mod download
+go run -tags dev .
+```
+*(The dev tag automatically runs migrations and provisions the local node)*
+
+**3. Start Frontend (Dashboard UI)**
+```bash
+cd apps/dashboard-ui
+npm install
+npm run dev
+```
+
+**4. Create Admin Account**
+In a new terminal:
+```bash
+cd apps/server-core
+go run -tags dev . -create-admin -user "admin" -pass "YourNewSecurePassword123!"
+```
