+\# AutoMQ Local Development Guide for Windows
+
+
+
+This guide outlines the steps to set up a local development environment for AutoMQ on Windows using Docker and LocalStack.
+
+
+
+\## Prerequisites
+
+
+
+Ensure you have the following installed:
+
+1\.  \*\*Java 17 (LTS)\*\*: Run `java -version` to verify.
+
+2\.  \*\*Docker Desktop for Windows\*\*: Required to run LocalStack.
+
+3\.  \*\*AWS CLI\*\*: Required to configure the mock S3 bucket.
+
+
+
+---
+
+
+
+\## 1. Troubleshooting Docker Setup (Important)
+
+
+
+If you encounter errors starting Docker Desktop, check the following:
+
+
+
+\### A. Enable Virtualization
+
+If Docker fails to start, ensure \*\*Virtualization\*\* is enabled in your BIOS.
+
+1\.  Open Task Manager (`Ctrl + Shift + Esc`) -> Performance -> CPU.
+
+2\.  Check if "Virtualization" is \*\*Enabled\*\*.
+
+3\.  If Disabled, restart your computer, enter BIOS (usually `F2`, `F10`, or `Del`), and enable \*\*Intel Virtual Technology\*\* or \*\*AMD SVM\*\*.
+
+
+
+\### B. Update WSL 2
+
+If you see a "WSL kernel version too low" error:
+
+1\.  Open PowerShell as Administrator.
+
+2\.  Run: `wsl --update`
+
+3\.  Restart Docker Desktop.
+
+
+
+---
+
+
+
+\## 2. Setting up LocalStack (Mock Cloud)
+
+
+
+AutoMQ requires an S3-compatible storage layer. We use LocalStack for this.
+
+
+
+1\.  \*\*Start LocalStack Container:\*\*
+
+    Open a PowerShell terminal and run:
+
+    ```powershell
+
+    docker run --rm -it -p 4566:4566 -p 4510-4559:4510-4559 localstack/localstack
+
+    ```
+
+    \*Keep this window open.\*
+
+
+
+2\.  \*\*Configure AWS CLI (Dummy Credentials):\*\*
+
+    Open a \*new\* PowerShell window and run:
+
+    ```powershell
+
+    aws configure
+
+    ```
+
+    - AWS Access Key ID: `test`
+
+    - AWS Secret Access Key: `test`
+
+    - Default region name: `us-east-1`
+
+    - Default output format: `json`
+
+
+
+3\.  \*\*Create S3 Bucket:\*\*
+
+    Run the following command to create a bucket named `ko3`:
+
+    ```powershell
+
+    aws s3api create-bucket --bucket ko3 --region us-east-1 --endpoint-url=\[http://127.0.0.1:4566](http://127.0.0.1:4566)
+
+    ```
+
+
+
+---
+
+
+
+\## 3. Configuration \& Running AutoMQ
+
+
+
+\### A. Configure Server Properties
+
+Open `config/kraft/server.properties` and ensure the S3 settings match your LocalStack setup.
+
+
+
+\*\*Note on Region Mismatch:\*\*
+
+If you encounter an error like `Authorization header is malformed; expecting 'us-east-2'`, update the region in the config file to match what LocalStack expects.
+
+
+
+```properties
+
+\# Updated settings for LocalStack
+
+s3.endpoint=\[http://127.0.0.1:4566](http://127.0.0.1:4566)
+
+s3.region=us-east-1 
+
+s3.bucket=ko3
+
