 ### Setup
 Before following the following list, make sure you are in the root directory (workspace/admin-portal).

 1. Make sure you have the right Python version installed: `python --version`
-2. Install a package named `pipenv` with `pip`: `python -m pip install pipenv`.
-3. Once installed, use this command to install all project packages: `pipenv install --dev`. The project packages are defined in `Pipfile`, and the `--dev` option installs both: develop and default packages.

+5. Once installed, use this command to install all project packages: `uv pip install -r `. The project packages are defined in `requirements.dev.generated.txt`.
+5. As a final step, make sure to copy the content of `.env.test` to `.env` and add the necessary credentials.
 
 __Note__ that this project relies on object storage. In production this is needed to store static files, but in development it is not required.
