1 .. _tutorials.gettingstarted.uploading: 2 3 Uploading Your Application 4 ========================== 5 You create and manage applications in App Engine using the Administration 6 Console. Once you have registered an application ID for your application, you 7 upload it to your website using ``appcfg.py``, a command-line tool provided 8 in the SDK. Or, if you're using Google App Engine Launcher, you can upload 9 your application by clicking the Deploy button. 10 11 .. note:: 12 Once you register an application ID, you can delete it, but you can't 13 re-register that same application ID after it has been deleted. You can 14 skip these next steps if you don't want to register an ID at this time. 15 16 17 Registering the Application 18 --------------------------- 19 You create and manage App Engine web applications from the App Engine 20 Administration Console, at the following URL: 21 22 - `https://appengine.google.com/ <https://appengine.google.com/>`_ 23 24 Google App Engine Launcher users can reach this URL by clicking the Dashboard 25 button. 26 27 Sign in to App Engine using your Google account. If you do not have a Google 28 account, you can `create a Google account <https://www.google.com/accounts/>`_ 29 with an email address and password. 30 31 To create a new application, click the "Create an Application" button. Follow 32 the instructions to register an application ID, a name unique to this 33 application. If you elect to use the free appspot.com domain name, the full 34 URL for the application will be ``http://application-id.appspot.com/``. You can 35 also purchase a top-level domain name for your app, or use one that you have 36 already registered. 37 38 Edit the ``app.yaml`` file, then change the value of the ``application:`` 39 setting from ``helloworld`` to your registered application ID. 40 41 42 Uploading the Application 43 ------------------------- 44 To upload your finished application to Google App Engine, run the following 45 command:: 46 47 .. code-block:: text 48 49 appcfg.py update helloworld/ 50 51 Or click Deploy in Google App Engine Launcher. 52 53 Enter your Google username and password at the prompts. 54 55 You can now see your application running on App Engine.
