+## Development Setup
+
+We use poetry to manage the dependencies for this project.
+
+### Using Poetry
+
+1. If you don't have Poetry installed, you can install it using pip:
+
+    ```bash
+    pip install poetry
+    ```
+
+    Or, if you're using a Unix-based system, you can install it using the following command:
+
+    ```bash
+    curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -
+    ```
+
+    For more information on installing Poetry, see the [official documentation](https://python-poetry.org/docs/)
+2. Clone the repository to your local machine.
+3. Navigate to the project directory.
+4. Install the project dependencies with Poetry:
+
+    ```bash
+    poetry install
+    ```
+
+5. Activate the Poetry environment:
+
+    ```bash
+    poetry shell
+    ```
+
+## Setting up pre-commit
+
+`pre-commit` is a tool that we use to maintain high-quality code in this project. It runs checks (hooks) on your code each time you commit changes. Here's how to set it up:
+
+## Pre-Commit Hooks
+Pre-commit hooks are scripts that run automatically before a commit is made in a Git repository. They help catch common issues like syntax errors, formatting problems, and other code quality issues.
+
+### Example hooks
+- `flake8` - a linter that checks your code for common errors and style issues.
+- `trailing-whitespace` - a hook that removes trailing whitespace from your files.
+- `ruff` - also a linter that checks your code for common errors and style issues.
+- `end of file fixer` - a hook that ensures that all files end with a newline.
+- `check yaml`
+
+We are using pre-commit configuration file to define our hooks. You can find the configuration file [here](https://github.com/OSIPI/osipi/blob/main/.pre-commit-config.yaml)
+
+1. In the project directory, run the following command to install the `pre-commit` hooks:
+
+    ```bash
+    pre-commit install
+    ```
+
+2. You can run all pre-commit hooks on all files with:
+
+    ```bash
+    pre-commit run --all-files
+    ```
+**NOTE:**
+- Next time you commit changes, `pre-commit` will run the hooks automatically.
+- Some hooks automatically fix/format your files to specific standards. If you see that some of your files have been changed after a commit, don't worry! It's just `pre-commit` doing its job.
+  Add the changes and commit them again.

 #### As mentioned before, this project is still in the early stages of development. If you'd like to contribute by adding functionality, we recommend opening an issue first to discuss your proposed functionality and the best ways to implement it.
