+# End-to-End Testing Setup
+
+This guide explains how to run end-to-end (E2E) tests for our Silent Indexer application using a `Makefile`. The steps include installing `make`, setting up PM2, and executing the tests.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Node.js and npm must be installed on your machine. You can download them from [Node.js official website](https://nodejs.org/).
+
+## Step 1: Install `make`
+
+### On Linux
+
+Most Linux distributions come with `make` pre-installed. If not, you can install it using your package manager.
+
+For **Debian/Ubuntu**:
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get install make
+```
+
+## Step 2: Install Dependencies
+
+1. Run the following command to install the npm dependencies specified in package.json:
+
+   ```bash
+      npm install
+   ```
+This command will download all the packages listed in dependencies and devDependencies from the npm registry.
+
+
+## Step 3: Run e2e
+Ensure you are in __e2e__ directory and that port 3000 is free.
+
+1. **Run the following command** to run e2e test using make:
+
+   ```bash
+   make
+   ```
