# Prepare Development Environment
|
||
|
||
This document includes the installation instructions for the tools required to use and run Medusa.
|
||
|
||
## Node.js
|
||
|
||
Node.js is the environment that makes it possible for Medusa to run, so you must install Node.js on your machine to start Medusa development.
|
||
|
||
:::caution
|
||
|
||
Medusa supports v16+ of Node.js. You can check your Node.js version using the following command:
|
||
|
||
```bash noReport
|
||
node -v
|
||
```
|
||

|
||
|
||
<Tabs groupId="operating-systems" queryString="os">
|
||
<TabItem value="windows" label="Windows" default>
|
||
|
||
You can install the executable directly from [the Node.js website](https://nodejs.org/en/#home-downloadhead).
|
||
|
||
For other approaches, you can check out [Node.js’s guide](https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#windows-1).

||
#Ubuntu
|
||
sudo apt update
|
||
sudo apt install nodejs
|
||
```
|

## Git
|
||
|
||
Medusa uses Git behind the scenes when you create a new project. So, you'll have to install it on your machine to get started.
|
||
|
||
<Tabs groupId="operating-systems" queryString="os">
|
||
<TabItem value="windows" label="Windows" default>
|
||
|
||
To install Git on Windows, you need to [download the installable package](https://git-scm.com/download/win).
|
||
|
||
</TabItem>
|
||
<TabItem value="linux" label="Linux">
|
||
|
||
For Debian/Ubuntu, you can use the following command:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
apt-get install git
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
As for other Linux distributions, please check [git’s guide](https://git-scm.com/download/linux).
|
||
|

|
||
<TabItem value="macos" label="macOS">
|
||
|
||
You should already have Git installed as part of the Xcode command-line tools.
|
||
|
||
However, if for any reason you need to install it manually, you can install it with Homebrew:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
brew install git
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You can also check out [git’s guide](https://git-scm.com/download/mac) for more installation options.

## (Optional) Medusa CLI
|
