+
+## Project set up and Architecture
+
+The Opik project is made up of five main sub-projects:
+
+* `apps/opik-documentation`: The Opik documentation website
+* `deployment/installer`: The Opik installer
+* `sdks/python`: The Opik Python SDK
+* `apps/opik-frontend`: The Opik frontend application
+* `apps/opik-backend`: The Opik backend server
+
+
+In addition, Opik relies on:
+
+1. Clickhouse: Used to trace traces, spans and feedback scores
+2. MySQL: Used to store metadata associated with projects, datasets, experiments, etc.
+3. Redis: Used for caching
+
+### Contributing to the documentation
+
+The documentation is made up of three main parts:
+
+1. `apps/opik-documentation/documentation`: The Opik documentation website
+2. `apps/opik-documentation/python-sdk-docs`: The Python reference documentation
+3. `apps/opik-documentation/rest-api-docs`: The REST API reference documentation
+
+#### Contributing to the documentation website
+
+The documentation website is built using [Docusaurus](https://docusaurus.io/) and is located in `apps/opik-documentation/documentation`.
+
+In order to run the documentation website locally, you need to have `npm` installed. Once installed, you can run the documentation locally using the following command:
+
+```bash
+cd apps/opik-documentation/documentation
+
+# Install dependencies - Only needs to be run once
+npm install
+
+# Run the documentation website locally
+npm run start
+```
+
+You can then access the documentation website at `http://localhost:3000`. Any change you make to the documentation will be updated in real-time.
+
+#### Contributing to the Python SDK reference documentation
+
+The Python SDK reference documentation is built using [Sphinx](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/) and is located in `apps/opik-documentation/python-sdk-docs`.
+
+In order to run the Python SDK reference documentation locally, you need to have `python` and `pip` installed. Once installed, you can run the documentation locally using the following command:
+
+```bash
+cd apps/opik-documentation/python-sdk-docs
+
+# Install dependencies - Only needs to be run once
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+# Run the python sdk reference documentation locally
+make dev
+```
+
+The Python SDK reference documentation will be built and available at `http://127.0.0.1:8000`. Any change you make to the documentation will be updated in real-time.
+
+### Contributing to the Python SDK
+
+The Python SDK is available under `sdks/python` and can be installed locally using `pip install -e sdks/python`.
+
+To test your changes locally, you can run Opik locally using `opik server install`.
+
+Before submitting a PR, please ensure that your code passes the test suite:
+
+```bash
+cd sdks/python
+
+pytest tests/
+```
+
+and the linter:
+
+```bash
+cd sdks/python
+
+pre-commit run --all-files
+```
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> If you changes impact public facing methods or docstrings, please also update the documentation. You can find more information about updating the docs in the [documentation contribution guide](#contributing-to-the-documentation).
+
+### Contributing to the installer
+
+The Opik server installer is a Python package that installs and manages the Opik server on a local machine. In order to achieve this, the installer relies on:
+
+1. Minikube: Used to manage the Kubernetes cluster
+2. Helm: Used to manage the Kubernetes charts
+3. Ansible: Used to manage the installation of the Opik server
+
+#### Building the package
+In order to build the package:
+
+1. Ensure that you have the necessary packaging dependencies installed:
+
+```bash
+pip install -r pub-requirements.txt
+```
+
+2. Run the following command to build the package:
+
+```bash
+python -m build --wheel
+```
+
+This will create a `dist` directory containing the built package.
+
+3. You can now upload the package to the PyPi repository using `twine`:
+
+```bash
+twine upload dist/*
+```
+
+#### QA Testing
+
+To test the installer, clone this repository onto the machine you want to
+install the Opik server on and install the package using the following
+commands:
+
+```bash
+# Make sure pip is up to date
+pip install --upgrade pip
+
+# Clone the repository
+git clone [email protected]:comet-ml/opik.git
+
+# You may need to checkout the branch you want to test
+#   git checkout installer-pkg
+
+cd opik/deployment/installer/
+
+# Install the package
+pip install .
+```
+
+If your pip installation path you may get a warning that the package is not
+installed in your `PATH`. This is fine, the package will still work.
+But you will need to call the fully qualified path to the executable.
+Review the warning message to see the path to the executable.
+
+```bash
+# When the package is publically released none of these flags will be needed.
+# and you will be able to simply run `opik-server install`
+opik-server install --opik-version 0.1.0
+```
+
+This will install the Opik server on your machine.
+
+By default this will hide the details of the installation process. If you want
+to see the details of the installation process, you can add the `--debug`
+flag just before the `install` command.
+
+```bash
+opik-server --debug install ........
+```
+
+If successful, the message will instruct you to run a kubectl command to
+forward the necessary ports to your local machine, and provide you with the
+URL to access the Opik server.
+
+#### Uninstalling
+
+To uninstall the Opik server, run the following command:
+
+```bash
+minikube delete
+```
+
+To reset the machine to a clean state, with no Opik server installed, it is
+best to use a fresh VM. But if you want to reset the machine to a clean state
+without reinstalling the VM, you can run the following commands:
+
+##### macOS
+
+```bash
+minikube delete
+brew uninstall minikube
+brew uninstall helm
+brew uninstall kubectl
+brew uninstall --cask docker
+rm -rf ~/.minikube
+rm -rf ~/.helm
+rm -rf ~/.kube
+rm -rf ~/.docker
+sudo find /usr/local/bin -lname '/Applications/Docker.app/*' -exec rm {} +
+```
+
+##### Ubuntu
+
+```bash
+minikube delete
+sudo apt-get remove helm kubectl minikube docker-ce containerd.io
+rm -rf ~/.minikube
+rm -rf ~/.helm
+rm -rf ~/.kube
+rm -rf ~/.docker
+```
+
+### Contributing to the frontend
+
+The Opik frontend is a React application that is located in `apps/opik-frontend`.
+
+In order to run the frontend locally, you need to have `npm` installed. Once installed, you can run the frontend locally using the following command:
+
+```bash
+cd apps/opik-frontend
+
+# Install dependencies - Only needs to be run once
+npm install
+
+# Run the frontend locally
+npm run start
+```
+
+You can then access the development frontend at `http://localhost:5174/`. Any change you make to the frontend will be updated in real-time.
+
+The dev server is set up to work with Opik BE run on `http://localhost:8080`. All requests made to `http://localhost:5174/api` are proxied to the backend.
+The server port can be changed in `vite.config.ts` file section `proxy`.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> You will need to have the backend running locally in order for the frontend to work. For this, we recommend running a local instance of Opik using `opik server install`.
+
+Before submitting a PR, please ensure that your code passes the test suite, the linter and the type checker:
+
+```bash
+cd apps/opik-frontend
+
+npm run test
+npm run lint
+npm run typecheck
+```
+
+### Contributing to the backend
+
+The Opik backend is a Java application that is located in `apps/opik-backend`.
+
+In order to run the backend locally, you need to have `java` and `maven` installed. Once installed, you can run the backend locally using the following command:
+
+```bash
+cd apps/opik-backend
+
+# Build the Opik application
+mvn clean install
+
+# Run the Opik application - 
+java -jar target/opik-backend-{project.pom.version}.jar server config.yml
+```
+Replace `{project.pom.version}` with the version of the project in the pom file. 
+
+Once the backend is running, you can access the Opik API at `http://localhost:8080`.
+
+Before submitting a PR, please ensure that your code passes the test suite:
+
+```bash
+cd apps/opik-backend
+
+mvn test
+```
