# algolia application create

> Create a new Algolia application.

```txt Usage theme={"system"}
algolia application create [flags]
```

## Examples

Create an application interactively (prompts for name, plan, and terms):

```sh icon=square-terminal theme={"system"}
algolia application create
```

Create a Free application non-interactively:

```sh icon=square-terminal theme={"system"}
algolia application create --name "My App" --region CA --accept-terms
```

Create on a paid plan (requires a payment method on file):

```sh icon=square-terminal theme={"system"}
algolia application create --name "My App" --region CA --plan grow --accept-terms
```

Create and set the new profile as the default:

```sh icon=square-terminal theme={"system"}
algolia application create --name "My App" --region CA --accept-terms --default
```

Preview what would be created without actually creating it:

```sh icon=square-terminal theme={"system"}
algolia application create --name "My App" --region CA --plan grow --dry-run
```
