-You can read the Torrust Index documentation [here](https://torrust.com/torrust-index/install/#installing-the-backend).
-
-## Installation
+We also provide the [Torrust Index Frontend](https://github.com/torrust/torrust-index-frontend) project, which is our reference web application that consumes the API provided here.
 
-1. Setup [Rust / Cargo](https://www.rust-lang.org/) in your Environment.
+![Torrust Architecture](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/torrust/.github/main/img/torrust-architecture.webp)
 
-2. Clone this repo.
+## Key Features
 
-3. Set the database connection URI in the projects `/.env` file:
+* [X] Rest API
+* [X] Categories and tags
+* [X] Image proxy cache
 
-    ```bash
-    cd torrust-index-backend
-    echo "DATABASE_URL=sqlite://data.db?mode=rwc" >> .env
-    ```
+## Getting Started
 
-4. Install sqlx-cli and build the sqlite database:
+Requirements:
 
-    ```bash
-    cargo install sqlx-cli
-    sqlx db setup
-    ```
+* Rust Stable `1.68`
 
-5. Build the binaries:
+You can follow the [documentation](https://docs.rs/torrust-index-backend) to install and use Torrust Index Backend in different ways, but if you want to give it a quick try, you can use the following commands:
 
-    ```bash
-    cargo build --release
-    ```
+```s
+git clone https://github.com/torrust/torrust-index-backend.git \
+  && cd torrust-index-backend \
+  && cargo build --release
+```
 
-6. Run the backend once to generate the `config.toml` file:
+And then run `cargo run` twice. The first time to generate the `config.toml` file and the second time to run the backend with the default configuration.
 
-    ```bash
-    ./target/release/torrust-index-backend
-    ```
+After running the tracker the API will be available at <http://localhost:3000>.
 
-7. Review and edit the default `/config.toml` file.
-
-> _Please view the [configuration documentation](https://torrust.github.io/torrust-tracker/CONFIG.html)._
