## Getting Started
In this guide, you will learn how to create a "Hello World" voice app for both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
### Install the Jovo CLI
The [Jovo CLI](https://github.com/jovotech/jovo-cli) is the best way to get started with Jovo development:
```sh
$ npm install -g jovo-cli
```
To learn more, please find the [Getting Started Guide](https://www.jovo.tech/framework/docs/installation) in the Jovo Framework Docs.
### Create a new Project
```sh
$ jovo new
```
This will clone the Jovo Sample Voice App into a new directory with a name specified by you.
### Configure your App
You can configure the app and add to its logic in the `src` folder, where you can find a file [`config.js`](./src/config.js), which looks like this:
```javascript
// ------------------------------------------------------------------
// APP CONFIGURATION
// ------------------------------------------------------------------
module.exports = {
logging: true,
intentMap: {
'AMAZON.StopIntent': 'END',
},
};
```
### Configure the Language Model
You can change the language model in the `/models`folder and can use the [Jovo CLI](https://github.com/jovotech/jovo-cli) to build platform specific language models into a new `/platforms` folder, and then deploy the language model to the platforms.
For example, you can do it like so:
```sh
# Initialize a Platform (alexaSkill or googleAction)
$ jovo init alexaSkill
# Build platform specific language model into /platforms
$ jovo build
# Deploy language model
$ jovo deploy
```
There is also a super fast way to do everything at once:
```sh
# Long version
$ jovo new --build alexaSkill --deploy
# Short version
$ jovo new -b alexaSkill -d
```
To find other ways to deploy the language model, please take a look at the tutorials:
* [Build an Alexa Skill with Jovo](https://www.jovo.tech/blog/alexa-skill-tutorial-nodejs/)
* [Build a Google Action with Jovo](https://www.jovo.tech/blog/google-action-tutorial-nodejs/)
### Run the Code
The [`index.js`](./index.js) file is responsible for the host configuration.
You can run this template in two ways:
* Webhook ([docs](https://www.jovo.tech/framework/docs/server/webhook)): Do `$ jovo run` and use a tool like [ngrok](https://www.ngrok.com) to point to the local webhook
* AWS Lambda ([docs](https://www.jovo.tech/framework/docs/server/aws-lambda)): Zip the folder and upload there
The file looks like this:
```javascript
'use strict';
const {Webhook, ExpressJS, Lambda} = require('jovo-framework');
const {app} = require('./app/app.js');
// ------------------------------------------------------------------
// HOST CONFIGURATION
// ------------------------------------------------------------------
// ExpressJS (Jovo Webhook)
if (process.argv.indexOf('--webhook') > -1) {
const port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
Webhook.listen(port, () => {
console.info(`Local server listening on port ${port}.`);
});
Webhook.post('/webhook', async (req, res) => {
await app.handle(new ExpressJS(req, res));
});
}
// AWS Lambda
exports.handler = async (event, context, callback) => {
await app.handle(new Lambda(event, context, callback));
};
```
