### Open SAP Business Application Studio and create your Dev Space

Before you can start using SAP Business Application Studio, you need to create your developer space, where your project will run. Depending on the application you want to develop, you can create different types of dev spaces.

For this tutorial, you will create a dev space personalized for Mobile development.

1. Launch SAP Business Application Studio in any one of the [supported browsers](https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP%20Business%20Application%20Studio/9d1db9835307451daa8c930fbd9ab264/8f46c6e6f86641cc900871c903761fd4.html#availability) and click **Create Dev Space**.

2. Enter `Tutorial` as the name for your dev space and choose **SAP Mobile Application** as the application type. Continue with **Create Dev Space**.

    By selecting **SAP Mobile Application**, your space comes with several extensions out of the box that you will need to develop Mobile applications. The creation of the dev space takes a few seconds.

3. When it's ready, open your dev space by clicking on the name.
