# Local Environment

## 📌 What Is This Section For?

This area helps you:

* Set up language runtimes so you can start coding.
* Install or enable ecosystem tooling (only if you choose to).
* Prepare a project so it behaves consistently when packaged for Discloud.

Discloud runs applications in Linux containers; keeping your project structure clean (entry file + dependency manifest) minimizes surprises.
