Create Your App

1. First you need to create your app. Go to the Quip Developer Console and click "Create a Live App".

2. Make note of your app ID.

3. Run create-quip-app my-app in your terminal. This will create a directory called my-app inside the current folder. Inside that directory, it will generate the initial project structure:

   my-app
   ├── package.json
   ├── node_modules
   ├── webpack.config.js
   ├── app
   │   └── manifest.json
   └── src
       └── App.less
       └── App.jsx
       └── root.jsx
   

4. Run cd my-app in your terminal.

5. Open the file app/manifest.json in your editor.

6. Paste in your app ID.

7. Give your app the name Hello World.

   note

   This is what users will see as the title of your app and the key they'll use to insert your app into their documents.

8. Save your changes to the app/manifest.json file.

Your app is now ready for deployment!
