Setting up Lando

It’s a free, open source, cross-platform, local development environment and DevOps tool built on Docker container technology and developed by Tandem.

Designed to work with most major languages, frameworks and services, Lando provides an easy way for developers of all skill levels to specify simple or complex requirements for their projects, and then quickly get to work on them.

Before installing Lando, make sure that you have installed Docker.

Install Lando

Install Lando on Debian with the following commands.

# save the script
curl -fsSL https://get.lando.dev/setup-lando.sh -o setup-lando.sh

# make it executable
chmod +x ./setup-lando.sh

# get usage info
bash setup-lando.sh

Install Lando on Arch Linux

Run the following command to install Lando on Arch.

yay -S lando

Lando for Windows OS

It’s possible to install Lando also on Windows OS, but from our experience it’s terribly slow. You could try running it under the WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux).

Alternatives to Lando

There are few and popular alternatives to Lando. These are DDEV and Druid’s Stonehenge, for example. In some cases they might be even better than Lando.
