-# Setup local development for Azure Static Web Apps
+# Set up local development for Azure Static Web Apps
 
 An Azure Static Web Apps instance is made up of two different types of applications. The first is a web app for your static content. Web apps are often created with front-end frameworks and libraries or with static site generators. The second aspect is the API, which is an Azure Functions app that provides a rich back-end development environment.
 
 When running in the cloud, Azure Static Web Apps seamlessly maps requests to the `api` route from the web app to the Azure Functions app without requiring CORS configuration. Locally, you need to configure your application to mimic this behavior.
 
 This article demonstrates recommended best-practices for local development, including the following concepts:

 - Debugging and running the application

 Running an Azure Static Web App locally involves three processes, depending on whether or not your project contains an API.

 Depending on how a website is built, a local web server may or may not be required to run the application in the browser. When using front-end JavaScript frameworks and static site generators, this functionality is built in to their respective CLIs (Command Line Interfaces). The following links point to the CLI reference for a selection of frameworks, libraries, and generators.
