+- Dash Component library (`packages/components`)
+
+## Quick Start

+3. Start Storybook: `npm run storybook`
+ - Visit `http://localhost:6006/`

+
+### 2. MongoDB Setup
+
+Download MongoDB:
+
+- [Mac](https://fastdl.mongodb.org/osx/mongodb-macos-x86_64-4.2.3.tgz)
+- [Windows x64](https://fastdl.mongodb.org/win32/mongodb-win32-x86_64-2012plus-4.2.3-signed.msi)
