Can monoliths be debugged in local env?

Just curious really. I'm a junior and I work across lots of microservices. I am constantly blocked by problems running the services locally so that I can debug, test and explore them.

Each service throws a different bunch of errors, and it's practically impossible to find information, or help, to get them running.

So I found myself day dreaming about monolith applications, wondering is it possible to run huge monoliths locally at all? I run out of system resources with more than a couple of microservices running.
