+### System requirements
+
+To run Envoy server, you have to install a JRE as mentioned above, as well as a database.
+In development, PostgreSQL is used, which you can download from [here](https://www.postgresql.org/download/).

+
+After creating a database and configuring the credentials, the server will initialize the necessary tables automatically.
