+
+- **Linux**: GCC 8.0+, CMake 3.15+, Make
+- **Windows**: MinGW-w64, CMake 3.15+
+- **Memory**: 512MB RAM minimum, 1GB+ recommended
+- **Storage**: 50MB free space
+
 ### Testing Environment
 
 - Tested on Linux (native & KVM VMs)
 - Windows cross-compilation support
 - Lightweight - works well in resource-constrained environments
 
+## 🌐 Usage
+
 ### Web Interface
 
 Start server and visit `http://localhost:8080`
 
 ### API Endpoints
 
-- `POST /api/register` - User registration
-- `POST /api/login` - Authentication
-- `GET /api/user` - User data
-- `POST /api/deposit` - Deposit funds
-- `POST /api/withdraw` - Withdraw funds
-- `POST /api/transfer` - Transfer money
-- `GET /api/transactions` - Transaction history
+| Method | Endpoint            | Description         |
+| ------ | ------------------- | ------------------- |
+| `POST` | `/api/register`     | User registration   |
+| `POST` | `/api/login`        | Authentication      |
+| `GET`  | `/api/user`         | User data           |
+| `POST` | `/api/deposit`      | Deposit funds       |

+| `POST` | `/api/transfer`     | Transfer money      |
+| `GET`  | `/api/transactions` | Transaction history |
+
+## 🐛 Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Port already in use**: Application uses port 8080 - ensure it's available
+2. **Missing dependencies**: Install C++ development tools and check CMake version
+3. **Web assets not loading**: Ensure `public` folder is with the executable
+4. **Permission errors**: Check file permissions on Linux/macOS
