+## Developer Walkthrough for Linux
+
+The commands below are using `apt`, so they are written for Debian based systems like Ubuntu. Adapt accordingly for other distributions.
+
+### Initial Setup
+
+1. **Clone the Source Code:**
+ - Use `git` to clone the repository from GitHub.
+
+2. **Install Required Tools:**
+ - Install Qt Creator, a compiler, and other dependencies:
+ ```bash
+ sudo apt update
+ sudo apt install qtcreator build-essential
+ ```
+
+#### Build
+
+1. **Build from Command Line:**
+ - Run the convenience script to build the project:
+ ```bash
+ ./scripts/build-for-linux.sh
+ ```
+
+2. **Resolve Dependencies:**
+ - If the build fails, check the error output for missing dependencies and install them as recommended.
+
+#### Setup the IDE
+
+1. **Open Qt Creator:**
+ - Launch Qt Creator from your application menu or terminal.
+
+2. **Setup Qt Installation:**
+ - Go to `Preferences -> Kits -> Qt Versions -> Add`.
+ - Select `qmake` from `build-x64-linux/vcpkg_installed/x64-linux/tools/Qt6/bin/qmake`.
+
+3. **Create a New Kit:**
+ - Add a new kit in the `Kits` tab, selecting the newly added Qt version.
+
+4. **Create a New Project:**
+ - Open the `CMakeLists.txt` file from the source code directory.
+ - Select the newly created kit with a Debug configuration, pointing to the `build-x64-linux` directory.
+
+You are now ready to develop and run the project using Qt Creator!
