Creating a jifty application

In a shell, you can invoke the following commands (assuming you live on a unix system):

/usr/bin/jifty app --name Name_of_your_app

This command creates a folder skeleton that later holds all files necessary to drive the application. As the name of your app is used as a class name, the app name should start with a CAPITAL letter to conform to usual coding styles.

From now on, you may use the jifty executable inside the bin/ directory of your project tree.

What the directory tree looks alike

A typical application directory consists of the following directories and files:

![directory_tree][dirtree]
