17The final code can be found on my GitHub repo [`okeeffed/<%= name.split('-').filter((_data, index) => index >= 3).join("-") %>`](https://github.com/okeeffed/<%= name.split('-').filter((_data, index) => index >= 3).join("-") %>).
18## Prerequisites
19
201. Basic familiarity with [AWS CDK for TypeScript](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/latest/guide/work-with-cdk-typescript.html).
21
22## Getting started
23
24We will clone the template repo to get started:
25
26```s
27$ git clone https://github.com/okeeffed/using-the-aws-cdk-with-localstack-and-aws-cdk-local <%= name.split('-').filter((_data, index) => index >= 3).join("-") %>
28$ cd <%= name.split('-').filter((_data, index) => index >= 3).join("-") %>
29$ npm i
30# if install fails, remove the lockfile and try again
31```
32
33At this stage, we will have the app in a basic working state.
34
35In order to create the CDN stack, we will require the following AWS CDK libraries:
36
37```s
38@aws-cdk/core
39@aws-cdk/aws-ec2
40@aws-cdk/aws-ecs
41@aws-cdk/aws-ecs-patterns
42```
43
44We can install these prior to doing any work:
45
46```s
47npm i @aws-cdk/core @aws-cdk/aws-ec2 @aws-cdk/aws-ecs @aws-cdk/aws-ecs-patterns
48```
49
50The repository that we cloned already has a `upgrade` script supplied. We can use this to ensure our CDK packages are at parity:
51
52```s
53npm run upgrade
54```
55
56We are now at a stage add a pattern construct to a stack.
