+# CPPND: Memory Management Chatbot
+
+This is the project for the Memory Management course in the Udacity C++ Nanodegree Program.
+
+# High-level Objectives
+> [!IMPORTANT]  
+> _See the Project Rubric for a full list of requirements._
+
+In this project, you'll apply your skills to: 
+1. **Analyze problems**, and
+2. **Then modify the program** using the advanced concepts taught in this course
+
+**To complete the project:** 
+1. **Find each `TODO`** located in the project's files. `TODO`s are located either:
+    - To the side, if the fix is for a single line of code
+    - Above the code, if the fix is for multiple lines of code. These also have a `END OF TODO` comment at the end of the relevant blocks of code.
+3. **Analyze the relevant code to determine what needs to be fixed**
+    - Generally, the `TODO`s don't provide instructions or guidance. This is so you can practice identifying and implementing appropriate fixes.
+4. **Implement the appropriate fix**
+    - Your fixes need to use the advanced concepts taught in this course
+
+# Project Setup
+## 1. Install Dependencies
+> [!NOTE]  
+> If you're using Udacity Workspace, these dependencies are already installed
+
+* cmake >= 3.11
+  * All OSes: [click here for installation instructions](https://cmake.org/install/)
+* make >= 4.1 (Linux, Mac), 3.81 (Windows)
+  * Linux: make is installed by default on most Linux distros
+  * Mac: [install Xcode command line tools to get make](https://developer.apple.com/xcode/features/)
+  * Windows: [Click here for installation instructions](http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm)
+* gcc/g++ >= 5.4
+  * Linux: gcc / g++ is installed by default on most Linux distros
+  * Mac: same deal as make - [install Xcode command line tools](https://developer.apple.com/xcode/features/)
+  * Windows: recommend using [MinGW](http://www.mingw.org/)
+
+## 2. Compile, build, and Run
+> [!WARNING]  
+> **Until you finished the `TODO`s, the code will compile** (`cmake ..`) **but not build** (`make`)
+
+In the top level directory of this project, run the following:
+
+`mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make && ./membot`
