# Create a Project

A **project** is the container of all files and scripts composing your robotic application.

To create a new project, if you’re on the[ Welcome screen](/get-started/first-steps/welcome-screen.md), click **New Project**. If you’ve already got any project open, choose **File -> New Project** from the main menu.

1. Choose a **path location** for your project.
2. Choose the enviornment type you prefer. **Virtualenv** is the preferred Python environment to run correctly Robpod Studio simulations.
3. Choose the **Python Interpreter**. Available Python interpreters on your machine will be displayed. If no Python interpreter can be detected on your machine, Robpod Studio will help to download and install one of the latest Python versions.
