+# Project and Workflow Service
+pws-aws is a [Spring Boot](https://spring.io/projects/spring-boot) service to deliver a service which achieves supporting more efficient and better decision making on large scale capital investments.
+
+## Running Locally
+These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.
+
+### Prerequisites
+Pre-requisites
+
+* JDK 17 (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/corretto/latest/corretto-17-ug/downloads-list.html)
+* Maven 3.8.3 or later
+* OSDU Instance deployed on AWS
+
+### Service Configuration
+In order to run the service locally or remotely, you will need to have the following environment variables defined.
+
+| name | example value | required | description | sensitive? |
+| ---  | ---   | ---         | ---        | ---    |
+TBD
+
+### Run Locally
+Check that maven is installed:
+
+example:
+```bash
+$ mvn --version
+Apache Maven 3.8.3
+Maven home: /usr/local/Cellar/maven/3.8.3/libexec
+Java version: 17.0.7
+...
+```
+
+You may need to configure access to the remote maven repository that holds the OSDU dependencies. Copy one of the below files' content to your .m2 folder
+* For development against the OSDU GitLab environment, leverage: `<REPO_ROOT>~/.mvn/community-maven.settings.xml`
+* For development in an AWS Environment, leverage: `<REPO_ROOT>/provider/pws-aws/maven/settings.xml`
+
+* Navigate to the service's root folder and run:
+
+```bash
+mvn clean package -pl pws-core,provider/pws-aws
+```
+
+* If you wish to build the project without running tests
+
+```bash
+mvn clean package -pl pws-core,provider/pws-aws -DskipTests
+```
+
+After configuring your environment as specified above, you can follow these steps to run the application. These steps should be invoked from the *repository root.*
+<br/>
+<br/>
+NOTE: If not on osx/linux: Replace `*` with version numbers as defined in the provider/pws-aws/pom.xml file
+
+```bash
+java -jar provider/pws-aws/target/pws-aws-*.*.*-SNAPSHOT-spring-boot.jar
+```
+
+## Testing
+ 
+ ### Running Integration Tests 
+ This section describes how to run OSDU Integration tests (testing/pws-test-aws).
+ 
+ You will need to have the following environment variables defined.
+ 
+ | name | example value | description | sensitive? |
+ | ---  | ---   | ---         | ---        |
+ TBD
+
+
+### Run Tests using mvn
+Set required env vars and execute the following:
+```
+mvn clean package -f testing/pom.xml -pl pws-test-core,pws-test-aws -DskipTests
+mvn test -f testing/pws-test-aws/pom.xml
+```
