# Creating a Device Farm desktop browser testing project
Creating a project

You can use the Device Farm console or the AWS CLI to create a project.

------
#### [ Device Farm console ]

1. Sign in to the Device Farm console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/devicefarm](https://console.aws.amazon.com/devicefarm).

1. In the navigation pane, choose **Desktop Browser Testing**, and then choose **Projects**.

1. If you already have a project, under **Desktop browser testing projects**, choose the name of your project.

   Otherwise, to create a new project, choose **New project**. Then, on the **Create Project** page, do the following:

   1. Enter a **Project name**.

   1. (Optional) Enter a project **Description**.

   1. (Optional) Under **Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Settings**, you can configure your project's VPC peering settings by choosing the **VPC**, its **Subnets**, and its **Security Groups**. For instructions on connecting Device Farm to a VPC, see [Working with Amazon Virtual Private Cloud across Regions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/devicefarm/latest/developerguide/amazon-vpc-cross-region.html) in the *Device Farm Developer Guide*.

   1. Choose **Create**.

1. In the project details, note the project's Amazon Resource Name (ARN). It looks like this: `arn:aws:devicefarm:us-west-2:111122223333:testgrid-project:123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426655440000`.
**Note**  
For instructions on updating your project configuration, see [Configuring your project to use Amazon VPC endpoints](techref-vpc.md#techref-vpc-configure).

------
#### [ AWS CLI ]

Use the `create-test-grid-project` command to create a project:

```
aws devicefarm create-test-grid-project --name "My Web App"
```

The result contains the project that you just created:

```
{
    "testGridProject": {
        "arn": "arn:aws:devicefarm:us-west-2:111122223333:testgrid-project:123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426655440000",
        "name": "My Web App"
    }
}
```

**Note**
