+# 🚀 Quick Setup Guide
+
+## Step 1: Install Dependencies
+
+### Linux/Mac:
+```bash
+./start.sh
+```
+
+### Windows:
+```cmd
+start.bat
+```
+
+The script will automatically:
+- Check for Node.js
+- Install all dependencies
+- Start both servers
+
+## Step 2: Configure Minecraft Bridge
+
+1. In Minecraft, place a computer with wireless modem
+2. Copy `webbridge.lua` to the computer
+3. Edit line 5 to match your setup:
+   ```lua
+   local SERVER_URL = "http://localhost:3001"  -- Change if needed
+   ```
+4. Run the script:
+   ```
+   webbridge
+   ```
+
+## Step 3: Deploy Turtles
+
+1. Place mining turtles with wireless modems
+2. Copy `turtle.lua` to each turtle
+3. Run on each turtle:
+   ```
+   turtle
+   ```
+4. First command for each turtle: `setHome` (via pocket or web)
+
+## Step 4: Access Web Interface
+
+Open your browser to: **http://localhost:3000**
+
+You should see:
+- ✅ Connection status (top right)
+- 🐢 Turtle list (left panel)
+- 🗺️ 3D map (center)
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**Turtles not showing up?**
+- Check webbridge.lua is running
+- Verify SERVER_URL matches your server
+- Ensure turtles have wireless modems equipped
+
+**Can't connect from web?**
+- Verify both servers are running (check terminal output)
+- Try accessing http://localhost:3001/api/turtles directly
+- Check browser console for errors
+
+**GPS not working?**
+- Set up 4 GPS host computers at high altitude
+- Run `gps host X Y Z` on each (with their coordinates)
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. Select a turtle in the web interface
+2. Use "Set Home" button
+3. Try "Explore" command
