+# Quick Start Guide - Get Open Notebook Running in 5 Minutes
+
+Get up and running with Open Notebook in just a few minutes! This guide will get you from zero to your first AI-powered notebook quickly.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before starting, ensure you have:
+
+1. **Docker Desktop** installed and running
+   - [Download for Windows/Mac](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/)
+   - Linux: `sudo apt install docker.io docker-compose`
+
+2. **OpenAI API Key** (recommended for beginners)
+   - Go to [OpenAI Platform](https://platform.openai.com/)
+   - Create account → API Keys → Create new secret key
+   - Add $5+ credits to your account for API usage
+
+## Single Command Setup
+
+### Step 1: Create Your Setup Files
+
+Create a new folder called `open-notebook` and add these two files:
+
+**docker-compose.yml**:
+```yaml
+services:
+  open_notebook:
+    image: lfnovo/open_notebook:latest-single
+    ports:
+      - "8502:8502"
+    env_file:
+      - ./docker.env
+    pull_policy: always
+    volumes:
+      - ./notebook_data:/app/data
+      - ./surreal_single_data:/mydata
+    restart: always
+```
+
+**docker.env**:
+```env
+# Replace YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY_HERE with your actual API key
+OPENAI_API_KEY=YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY_HERE
+
+# Database settings (don't change these)
+SURREAL_ADDRESS=localhost
+SURREAL_PORT=8000
+SURREAL_USER=root
+SURREAL_PASS=root
+SURREAL_NAMESPACE=open_notebook
+SURREAL_DATABASE=production
+```
+
+### Step 2: Start Open Notebook
+
+Open terminal/command prompt in your `open-notebook` folder and run:
+
+```bash
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+**That's it!** Open Notebook is now running at: **http://localhost:8502**
+
+## Basic Verification
+
+1. **Check Services**: Visit http://localhost:8502 - you should see the Open Notebook interface
+2. **API Health**: Visit http://localhost:5055/docs - you should see the API documentation
+3. **No Errors**: Run `docker-compose logs` to ensure no error messages
