Developers should have some prior knowledge of the [Shopify app ecosystem](https://shopify.dev/concepts/apps). Shopify App CLI creates apps using either [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) or [Ruby on Rails](https://rubyonrails.org/).
## Requirements
- A [Shopify partner account](https://partners.shopify.com/signup)
- A [Shopify development store](https://help.shopify.com/en/partners/dashboard/development-stores#create-a-development-store) to install and test apps
- [Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org) 2.5.1+
### Windows requirements
If you wish to use Shopify App CLI natively on **Windows 10**, we recommend installing Ruby using [RubyInstaller for Windows](https://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/).
Alternatively, you can also use Shopify App CLI using **Windows Subsystem for Linux**, in which case you need:
- [Linux Subsystem for Windows](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10)
- [Ubuntu VM](https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/p/ubuntu/9nblggh4msv6)
## Next steps
- [Install the CLI]({{ site.baseurl }}/getting-started/install/)
- [Upgrade]({{ site.baseurl }}/getting-started/upgrade/)
- [Uninstall]({{ site.baseurl }}/getting-started/uninstall/)
