+# 🚀 SoundWave - GitHub Deployment Guide
+
+## ✅ Pre-Deployment Checklist
+
+This guide ensures SoundWave is ready for GitHub deployment with zero-build installation.
+
+### 1. Include Built Frontend
+
+The frontend is already built and included in the repository at `frontend/dist/`. Users don't need Node.js or npm.
+
+### 2. Verify Files Structure
+
+```
+soundwave/
+├── frontend/dist/          # ✅ Pre-built frontend (included in repo)
+├── backend/                # ✅ Django application
+├── docker-compose.yml      # ✅ Docker configuration
+├── Dockerfile             # ✅ Container definition
+├── .env.example           # ✅ Environment template
+└── README.md              # ✅ Documentation
+```
+
+### 3. User Installation (Zero Build)
+
+Users can deploy with just 3 commands:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/yourusername/soundwave.git
+cd soundwave
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+**No npm install. No build steps. Just Docker.**
+
+## 📦 What's Included in Docker Image
+
+The Dockerfile automatically:
+- Installs Python dependencies
+- Copies pre-built frontend from `frontend/dist/`
+- Configures FFmpeg and yt-dlp
+- Sets up Django application
+- Runs migrations on first start
+
+## 🔧 Environment Configuration
+
+Default `.env.example` provides working configuration:
+- **Port:** 8889
+- **Username:** admin
+- **Password:** soundwave
+
+Users can customize by copying `.env.example` to `.env` before starting.
+
