# nowrun FAQ: Account Setup, CLI, Deploy, and Pricing

> Answers to the most common questions about nowrun: account setup, card verification, supported apps, pricing, and how the agent workflow works.

Quick answers to the most common questions about nowrun — from account setup and card verification to supported engines and the agent-driven workflow.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Why do I need to verify a card if the plan is free?">
    The \$0 card verification is not a charge — it's a lightweight check to prevent spam and abuse. Your card is not billed, and you remain on the free plan until you choose to upgrade.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I find my token?">
    Log in to the dashboard at [nowrun.io](https://nowrun.io), locate your token in the dashboard, and copy it. Paste it directly into your AI agent when prompted, or pass it with `nowrun init -t <token>`.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What Python version is required?">
    Python 3.8 or later is required to install and run the nowrun CLI.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does my AI agent need special permissions?">
    Your agent needs to be able to run shell commands and install Python packages. Standard AI coding agents — including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and similar tools — already have these capabilities and work with nowrun out of the box.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What engines are supported?">
    Any engine that produces an `.apk` file is supported: native Android, Unity, Godot, Unreal Engine, and others. The `.aab` (Android App Bundle) format is **not** supported — configure your build pipeline to output a plain `.apk` file.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I update my app after deploying?">
    Yes. Ask your agent to run `nowrun deploy` again after a new build. nowrun creates a new version of your app; your existing URL remains live throughout the process.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do viewers need to install anything?">
    No. The live URL nowrun generates opens in any standard browser. Only the person deploying the app needs a nowrun account and the CLI. Your users just click the link.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I deploy without an AI agent?">
    Yes — the CLI works independently. Run `nowrun init -t <token>` to authenticate, then `nowrun deploy` to push your APK. That said, nowrun is designed and optimized for agent-driven workflows, so using an AI agent gives you the smoothest experience.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I upgrade my plan?">
    Log in to the dashboard at [nowrun.io](https://nowrun.io) and navigate to **Plan & Billing** to view available plans and upgrade options.
