# Quickstart: Deploy an Android APK to a Live Browser URL

> Create your nowrun account, verify your card, and let your AI agent deploy your first Android app to a live URL in under five minutes.

By the end of this page you will have a nowrun account, an active free plan, and a live browser URL for your Android app — all without running a single command yourself. Your AI agent handles the CLI install, authentication, and deploy the moment you hand it your token.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create your account">
    Go to [nowrun.io](https://nowrun.io) and sign up for a free account. You only need an email address to get started.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify your card">
    Add a payment method in the nowrun dashboard. nowrun runs a **\$0 authorization check** — you are not charged. The verification activates your free plan and prevents abuse, which is what keeps the free tier free for everyone.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Copy your token">
    After verification, open the nowrun dashboard and copy your personal API token. You will paste this into your agent in the next step.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Tell your agent to deploy">
    Open your AI coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or any shell-capable agent) and ask it to deploy your app using your nowrun token. When the agent asks for the token, paste it in.

    The agent will run the following commands on your behalf:

    ```bash theme={null}
    pip install -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple/ nowrun
    nowrun init -t <token>
    nowrun deploy
    ```

    <Note>
      You do not need to run these commands yourself. The agent executes them as part of its setup and deploy cycle.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open your link">
    Once the deploy completes, your agent will share a live URL. Open it in any browser — your app is running instantly, with no install required.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  You do not need to give your agent a command cheat sheet. `nowrun init` installs the nowrun skill and MCP server, which teach the agent every available CLI command. The agent uses `nowrun help` and `nowrun <command> -h` to discover what it needs on its own.
