### Build your MTA application


Right-click on your project and select **Build->Build**

This will take several minutes to complete.  
![Build](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sap-tutorials/Tutorials/master/tutorials/xsa-mta-package-transport/build.png)


### Download and upload your MTA application


You will find a new folder named `mta_archieves` and within a folder for your project.  Within this folder is the `MTAR` archive for your application.

Export the .`mtar `file into a local directory in your computer:

### Deploy the MTAR file


As a user with the proper permissions, for example, `hxeadm` if you are using SAP HANA, express edition, execute the XS CLI.

>Notes: If required, login to `xs` first using command `xs login`. Additionally, If you have created a user-provided service, you will need to create it with the proper `xs cups` command first.

</br>

Use command `xs deploy` followed by the proper file:

Make sure it finished successfully:

### Check your application


You can now check the services have been deployed using XS services:

And the application using `xs apps` in the corresponding space (for example, development in HANA express edition):
