# Project Creation — Bundle Drop Docs

> Create a Bundle Drop project and organization, then connect your React Native app to start shipping over-the-air updates.

Canonical: https://bundledrop.app/docs/project-creation

Follow the dashboard setup from sign-in to your first channel. This walkthrough uses a sample organization, Acme, and a sample app, Pocket Tasks.

## Create Your Account

Start by signing in to the Bundle Drop dashboard. If you are new, create an account first and complete the registration flow.

Once you are in, Bundle Drop takes you into the organization and project setup flow.

## Create an Organization

Projects live inside organizations, so your first step is creating one.

On the Organizations page:

- Click `New organization`.
- Enter the organization details you want to use.
- Create it and continue into that organization.

If you work alone, a single organization is usually enough. If you manage multiple apps or teams, you can add more later.

## Create a Project

After you open an organization, go to its Projects page and create your app there.

- Click `New project`.
- Enter the project name, slug, and description.
- Finish the creation flow.

Project creation is only available to organization admins. If you do not see the create action, ask an organization admin to create the project or update your access.

After the project is created, Bundle Drop can show the project details and config values you will use during app setup.

Each new project also starts with a channel named `develop`. You can use that as your default release track, or create your own channels alongside it.

If you want to understand how channels work and how to structure them, read [Channels](/docs/channels).

## Before You Connect the App

Bundle Drop setup is project-scoped. `bundle-drop login` connects a local app to one organization and project, then runs the first-time setup. `bundle-drop init` reruns setup when needed.

Before you run it, make sure you already have:

- a valid Bundle Drop account
- an organization you can access
- at least one project inside that organization

Once that is ready, continue with [Installation](/docs/installation).
