###### Now you can connect to your remote development environments on Diploi using Cursor

###### Diploi is a deployment platform for applications with support for remote development

## Vibing on Diploi ✨

We just added support for Cursor, which means that now you can start coding your application without installing anything locally and vibe your way to production

### How it works?

**Don't want to read?** Check the video demo

**If you prefer reading,** let's go step by step:

**If you have a development environment already created, [you can skip to step 2](/content/blog/remote-development-with-cursor-4okl#step2/index.html)**

#### 1\. Create a project

You can launch the project creation page from your dashboard's project page

[https://console.diploi.com/](https://console.diploi.com/)/projects

Now choose the stack for your application. For this guide, I'll select Bun and Nue.js with Postgres for my demo app

After clicking on `Launch Stack`, the Diploi creates a development deployment by default, but just in case I'll show how you can create a development deployment for our application

##### Creating a development deployment

From your project page, click the `Create Deployment` button

Select **Development**, which will allow you to start developing your app without having to run anything locally

We recommend you use size M for your development environments, since the remote development environment will need additional resources to run your application in development mode

After you finish configuring your development deployment, your new environment will start

#### 2\. Connect to your development deployment using Cursor

Now that your deployment is configured and starting, you will be able to connect remotely when the button `Code in the Browser` inside the **Develop** section of your deployment changes from gray to blue

You might be thinking, "that's not connect to Cursor" and you are right, all you need to do is click on the plus `+` next to `Code in the Browser`, which will open a dropdown where you can select to open your development environment with Cursor

> If you have issues connecting, it might be due to missing SSH keys. Follow this guide explaining how to add a new SSH key to your Diploi account [https://docs.diploi.com/building/add-ssh-key/](https://docs.diploi.com/building/add-ssh-key/)

In case you prefer to make "Open in Cursor" a default action for your deployment, you can click on the pin "📌" icon, to pin it on your **Develop** section

And now you should be able to open your deployment with Cursor and vibe out your app without having to install anything locally 💎

**If you don't have a Diploi account, you can still try launching a server for free, no registration needed**

If you have been using Diploi for a while, you might notice that we updated our deployment page UI. We'll talk about our design process in another post

That's all for now! Go out there and vibe friend 🪄
