# nowrun deploy — Publish Your Android APK to a Live URL

> nowrun deploy uploads your Android APK and streams it at a browser-accessible URL that anyone can open without installing anything on their device.

`nowrun deploy` is the command that publishes your Android APK to nowrun and returns a live URL. Your AI agent runs this after building the APK — no Android device, emulator, or app store required on the recipient's end.

## Usage

```bash theme={null}
nowrun deploy
```

The agent discovers exact flags and options from `nowrun deploy -h` and the nowrun skill. The base command is `nowrun deploy`.

## Prerequisites

<Note>
  Before running `nowrun deploy`, make sure you have:

  * The nowrun CLI installed (`pip install -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple/ nowrun`)
  * Completed `nowrun init` successfully so your credentials are saved
  * An Android `.apk` file built and ready to upload
</Note>

## What it does

When your agent runs `nowrun deploy`, it:

1. Locates the APK (the agent specifies the path).
2. Uploads the APK to nowrun.
3. nowrun streams the app at a unique, browser-accessible URL.
4. Returns the live URL — share it with anyone, no installation needed.

## Exploring options

Because the CLI is agent-driven and evolves over time, use the built-in help to discover all current flags and options:

```bash theme={null}
nowrun deploy -h
```

Your agent runs this automatically via the MCP server and skill to stay up to date with the latest available options.

<Tip>
  Each deploy creates a new version. Your previous live URL stays active until you explicitly remove it or the app is deleted.

## Managing deployed apps

After deploying, you can manage your live apps — including viewing, updating, and removing them. See [Managing Apps](/deploying/managing-apps) for details.
