# Creating your experiment

Once you have finished setting up Node and Meteor, [as per our setup guide](/getting-started/setup.md), you can use `create-empirica-app` to create your experiment.

Then you can simply run the following command, where `my-experiment` is your customized experiment name (no spaces or uppercase letters):

```bash
npx create-empirica-app my-experiment
```

It will create a directory called `my-experiment` inside the current folder.\
Inside that directory, it will generate the initial [structure ](/overview/structure.md)and install the transitive dependencies.

Once the installation is done, open your project folder:

```bash
cd my-experiment
```

You can now read more about the running your experiment, the structure of an Empirica experiment, and you can try our tutorial:
