# Creating a new Jaxer project [edit]

This Help topic explains how to create a new Jaxer project.

## Introduction

Aptana Studio includes a new project wizard that creates the basic infrastructure for an application that runs on a Jaxer server. You can specify that your new project includes a sample Jaxer application. The sample application includes some basic Jaxer code and the appropriate file references already set up for you.

## Instructions

To create a new Jaxer project:

1. From the File menu, select New > Project... to open a New Project Wizard.
2. On the New Project Wizard, expand the Aptana Projects folder, and select Default Web Project. Click the Next button to go to the Project screen.
3. In the Project name field, type a name for your project. Click the Next button to go to the Import JavaScript Library screen.
4. On the Import JavaScript Library screen, check the box next to any libraries that you would like to import and code against in your project. Click the Next button to go to the HTML Preview Settings screen.
5. Click the Next tab to go to the Jaxer Support screen.
6. On the Jaxer Support screen, check the box next to any or all of the following options:
   - Include Jaxer sample in project
   - Add Jaxer recommended folder structure
   - Open Servers View on finish
   - Open Interactive Jaxer Shell on finish
7. On the HTML Preview Settings screen, make any changes to the HTML preview settings that you would like, such as specifying a particular run configuration or server for your project. (These are the settings for the various browser tabs at the bottom of the Aptana HTML editor.)

   The Built-in Preview Server in Aptana Studio includes Jaxer. You will not need to add any additional servers if you want to preview a Jaxer project with the default settings.

8. Click the Finish button to create your project.
