+## Prerequisites
+
+This project uses Rust compiled to WebAssembly, so you'll need to set up the Rust toolchain properly before development.
+
+### Required Tools
+
+1. **Rust via rustup** (recommended over system package managers)
+2. **wasm-pack** 
+3. **Node.js**
+
+### Setup Instructions
+
+#### 1. Install Rust (via rustup)
+
+**Important:** Use rustup rather than system package managers (Homebrew on macOS, apt on Ubuntu, etc.) for better toolchain management.
+
+Install Rust using rustup. Platform specific instructions at [rustup.rs](https://rustup.rs/).
+
+#### 2. Add WebAssembly Target
+
+```bash
+rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown
+```
+
+#### 3. Install wasm-pack
+
+```bash
+cargo install wasm-pack
+```
+
+#### 4. Verify Installation
+
+```bash
+# Check Rust
+rustc --version
+rustup target list --installed | grep wasm32
+
+# Check wasm-pack
+wasm-pack --version
+
+# Verify WASM target is available
+rustc --print target-list | grep wasm32-unknown-unknown
+```
+
+## Development
+
+### Install Dependencies
+
+From the project root:
+```bash
+npm install
+```
+
+### Playground Development
+
+From the project root:
+```bash
+npm run playground
+```
+
+### Project Structure
+
+- `src/` - Rust source code (extensions to cooklang-rs)
+- `pkg/` - Generated WebAssembly files (created by wasm-pack)
+- `index.ts` - TypeScript entry point
+- `Cargo.toml` - Rust dependencies and configuration
