+## Setup User `dev`
+
+- Create a new `hosts.ini` file:
+
+   ```bash
+   cp ../hosts.example.ini hosts.ini
+   ```
+
+- Edit the [`hosts.ini`](./hosts.ini) file to run the playbook on a remote machine:
+
+  ```ini
+  [deployment_host]
+  <host_name> ansible_host=<target_ip> ansible_user=<ssh_user> ansible_ssh_common_args='-o ForwardAgent=yes'
+  ```
+
+  - Replace `<host_name>` with the desired `hostname` of the remote machine
+  - Replace `<target_ip>` with the IP address or hostname of the target machine
+  - Replace `<ssh_user>` with `root`
+
+- Verify that you are able to connect to the host using the following command:
+
+  ```bash
+  ansible all -m ping -i hosts.ini -k
+
+  # Expected output:
+
+  # <host_name> | SUCCESS => {
+  #  "ansible_facts": {
+  #      "discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/bin/python3.10"
+  #  },
+  #  "changed": false,
+  #  "ping": "pong"
+  # }
+  ```
+
+- Execute the `setup-user.yml` Ansible playbook to create a user `dev` with sudo permissions:
+
+  ```bash
+  ansible-playbook setup-user.yml -i hosts.ini --extra-vars='{ "target_host": "deployment_host" }'
+  ```
