# Tutorial

Monaca CLI is a local development environment that can be used to develop Monaca apps locally. Monaca CLI provides a command line interface for using Monaca Cloud from your local PC. You can create new local projects and import or clone existing projects from Monaca Cloud to your PC and start developing Monaca apps with an editor you prefer. Monaca CLI allows you to debug your app with inspector integration and remote build your projects without any local setup.

Before getting started with this tutorial, you should:

* install Monaca CLI with the following command ([read more](/products_guide/monaca_cli/overview.md#step-1-cli-installation)):

  ```
  $ npm install -g monaca
  ```
* have a smart mobile device (either iOS or Android) if you want to test on a real device.
