+# Task Manager
+
+This repository contains a full-stack Task Manager application with a client-side UI (using `React` / `Next.js`) and a server-side API (`Node.js` / `Express`). Both parts work together to enable task management functionality, including adding, editing, and deleting tasks. This guide will walk you through installing, running, and understanding each part of the project.

+
+## Project Overview
+
+This application is split into **TWO** main sections:
+
+- **Client :** The front-end user interface, built with `React` / `Next.js` and styled with `Tailwind CSS`.
+
+- **Server :** The backend API, built with `Node.js` and `Express` providing `RESTful` endpoints for managing tasks.
+
+---
+
+## Installation
+
+Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:
+
+- `Node.js` (version `14.x` or higher)
+
+- `npm` (comes with `Node.js`)
+
+**Step 1: Clone the Repo\***
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/kn1ghtm0nster/task-manager.git
+cd task-manager
+```
+
+**Step 2: Install Dependencies for Client and Server**
+
+Navigate to the root project directory (AKA `task-manager`), and install dependencies for both the `client` and `server` folders.
+
+**Installing Server Dependencies**
+
+1. Navigate to the `server` folder:
+
+   ```bash
+   cd server
+   ```
+
+2. Install `server` dependencies:
+
+   ```bash
+   npm install
+   ```
+
+**Installing Client Dependencies**
+
+1. Return to the `root` project folder:
+
+   ```bash
+   cd ..
+   ```
+
+2. Navigate to the `client` folder
+
+   ```bash
+   cd client
+   ```
+
+3. Install `client` dependencies
+
+   ```bash
+   npm install
+   ```
+
+---
+
+## Running the Project
+
+This project **REQUIRES** both the client and server to be running. Below are the instructions for each.
+
+**Running the Server**
+
+1. Navigate to the `server` directory (if not already there):
+
+   ```bash
+   cd server
+   ```
+
+2. Start the server:
+
+   ```bash
+   npm start
+   ```
+
+   **NOTE :** The server will start on a predefined port (e.g. `http://localhost:5000`).
+
+**Running the Client**
+
+1. Open a new terminal and navigate to the `client` directory:
+
+   ```bash
+   cd client
+   ```
+
+2. Start the client:
+
+   ```bash
+   npm run dev
+   ```
+
+   **NOTE :** The client will start on a different port (e.g. `http://localhost:3000`)
