To create a Web2Py project, follow these steps

1. On the main menu, choose File | New Project..., or click the New Project button in the Welcome screen. New Project dialog box opens.

   • Specify project type Web2Py.
   • Specify project location.
   • Next, click to expand the Project Interpreter node, and select the new environment or existing interpreter, by clicking the corresponding radio-button. The following steps depend on your choice:
     • New environment: if this option has been selected, choose the tool to be used to create a virtual environment. To do that, click the drop-down list and choose Virtualenv or Conda.

       Next, specify the location and base interpreter of the new virtual environment. If necessary, click the Inherit global site-packages and Make available to all projects check boxes.

     • Existing interpreter: if this option has been selected, choose the desired interpreter from the drop-down list, or (if the desired interpreter is not found), click and choose adding new new local or remote interpreter. See Configuring Python Interpreter for details.
3. Click (More Settings), and specify the following:
   • In the Templates folder field, specify the directory where the templates will be stored, and where they will be loaded from. You can specify the name of the directory that doesn't yet exist; in this case, the directory will be created.
