# Creating an AIR project [edit]

This page describes how to create an Adobe AIR project in the Aptana IDE.

## Introduction

After you configure Aptana to work with the AIR SDK (see Configuring the AIR runtime), you can create your first AIR project. Use the project wizard to walk you through the creation of your project, as described in the instructions below.

## Instructions

To create an AIR project in Aptana:

1. From the File menu in Aptana, select New > Project... to open the project wizard.
2. Expand Adobe AIR, select AIR Project (shown below), and click the Next button to go to the project name screen.

3. In the Project name field, type a name for your project.
4. In the Main HTML file field, type a name for the home HTML file for your project (e.g. "index.html"). Make sure that you include the ".html" file extension.
5. Click the Next button to go to the Application XML Properties screen.
6. In the ID field, type a unique identifier for your application. You can leave the other fields blank.
7. Click the Finish button.

The Aptana IDE creates your AIR project.
