So let's start with the setup. Cloud Code is
available for all operating systems, and attached you find a link to the
setup instructions because there you'll find some commands you can simply copy and
paste to install Cloud Code on your system.
Once you got it installed, you invoke it from the command line
it primarily is a command line tool.
It has no graphical user interface, though it does work
together with certain code editors and can give you kind
of a graphical user interface, at least for some parts of it, as you
will see. So here I'm in a new project in Visual
Code, the editor I'm using here in this course,
project is essentially a bare bone basic
Next.js project. You'll also find this starting snapshot
you wanna follow along. And in this project, I can open up
my terminal, so the CLI built into Visual Studio Code.
I opened that up here. And then there, I can run Cloud
with that installed. And the first time you do this in any
warning whether you trust, uh, this folder and the files in there
because, and that's important, Cloud Code will
operate on that project, and that does not just
mean that it will write code. It also means that it will
execute certain commands in this project, for example, to run
automated tests. It will read the files in
that folder. So, of course, you don't wanna run Cloud Code on any
random folder that could contain malicious software.
Just saying. So here, of course, I'll proceed and then we're
inside Cloud Code.
