# 2. Create a new App

### "Hello World"

The best place to start when using any new tool is to create a "Hello World" app — the simplest possible app that you can create. Let's do that right now.

### Create the Hello World App

From the Admin Portal click on **Create App**

Enter a name for the app and hit **Next** (for now you can ignore the region selector and just it leave it on US).

Select the "Source control" you want your new app to use and hit **Next** (for now you should select "Revisions" and "JourneyApps", for more on GitHub integration please reach out to your Customer Success Manager).

After hitting **Next**, OXIDE will get your new app all set up for you and you will get navigated to the *Overview* for your app:
