I created my Drupal website on Acquia Cloud, and am at the stage of adding modules. After some Googling, I came across an article on Acquia Cloud's website that said this:

"If your website is hosted on Acquia Cloud, the module directories are part of the code repository, which is not directly writable. This means that you can't add a module using the Update Manager or SFTP."

Does this mean I need to work with the code locally, before pushing the changes to the website? I'm kind of confused because I was able to install a module through my drupal site.

As far as I know, it means that you need to add new modules to your repository using GIT. You cannot add them through the admin interface, nor directly upload them through SFTP.
