Lando Overview
Lando is a local development environment manager that wraps Docker-based project tooling behind a simple command line workflow. This page now points to the official Lando core 3.26.4 release packages from the Lando GitHub organization, including Windows EXE builds plus macOS and Linux CLI binaries for Intel/AMD64 and ARM64 systems. These files can be saved for repeat installation or staged with other approved developer tools before setup. Use Lando when a team needs consistent PHP, Node.js, database, and web service stacks across multiple workstations. The downloaded package installs the Lando CLI, while projects still define their services in repository configuration so the same environment can be recreated on another machine. For offline or restricted-network preparation, download the matching package for each target platform and keep Docker Desktop or a compatible Docker engine available separately. For deployment, run the Windows installer on Windows 10/11, place the macOS or Linux binary in an executable path, and verify the installation with lando version. Because Lando depends on container images for project services, teams should mirror or pre-pull required images before moving into a fully air-gapped environment. The Lando offline installer is the standalone setup distribution for Windows/macOS/Linux, with the full setup file suitable for offline deployment on developer workstations and CI/build machines that cannot reach the vendor's update servers during install.
