You may either star a local debugging session on a new process or start a local debugging session and attach it to an existing process. Both options are accessible through the command line.
idal -r MY_PROGRAM
will start the program, create a temporary database that allows the user to work with the target at once.

The command
idal -r+
will offer you a choice of running processes to connect to.

and we can proceed with our local Linux debugging session.
