# Set up local development

Run your Acquia site on your own machine, with data pulled from a real environment. The [quickstart](/cloud-platform/local-dev/quickstart/) gets a local copy running; the guide compares the approaches.

- [Quickstart](/cloud-platform/local-dev/quickstart/): DDEV plus acli. Clone the code, pull the database and files from a Cloud Platform environment, and have the site running on your machine.
- [Local development against Acquia](/cloud-platform/local-dev/guide/): The refresh routine, keeping configuration in sync, pushing work back out, and where Lando, plain acli, and Cloud IDE fit.
