+## Setup
+
+1. Pull the repository.
+1. Fill out your specific config options in `./server/.env`
+1. Ensure `./app-dist/scripts/climate-pinger.py` has the correct pin for your adafruit-dht22 device and/or edit the script for your specific setup.
+1. Run `./setup.sh` as administrator
+1. Start the server: 
+   > node ./app-dist/main.js

+Humidity:   <humidity>
+CO2:    <co2>
