1. In Django lingo, we will create a new "application" - a subsystem under the main Evennia program. For this example we'll call it "myapp". Run the following (you need to have a working Evennia running before you do this, so make sure you have run the steps in [Setup Quickstart](Getting- Started) first):
cd mygame/world
evennia startapp myapp
mv myapp world (linux)
move myapp world (windows)
1. A new folder `myapp` is created. "myapp" will also be the name (the "app label") from now on. We chose to put it in the `world/` subfolder here, but you could put it in the root of your `mygame` if that makes more sense. 1. The `myapp` folder contains a few empty default files. What we are interested in for now is `models.py`. In `models.py` you define your model(s). Each model will be a table in the database. See the next section and don't continue until you have added the models you want.

1. You now need to tell Evennia that the models of your app should be a part of your database scheme. Add this line to your `mygame/server/conf/settings.py`file (make sure to use the path where you put `myapp` and don't forget the comma at the end of the tuple):

In this tutorial we will create a web page that displays the stats of a game character. For this, and all other pages we want to make specific to our game, we'll need to create our own Django "app". We'll call our app `character`, since it will be dealing with character information. From your game dir, run
cd web
evennia startapp character
This will create a new directory named `character` inside `mygame/web/`. We put it in `web/` to keep things tidy, but you could place it wherever you like. It contains all basic files that a Django app needs.
This will create a new directory named `character` inside `mygame`. To keep
things tidy, let's move it into the `web/` subdirectory.
mv character web (linux/mac)
move character web (windows)
We put it in `web/` to keep things tidy, but you could place it wherever you
like. It contains all basic files that a Django app needs.
Note that we will not edit all files in this new directory, many of the generated files are outside the scope of this tutorial.

This will create a directory named `help_system` under `mygame/web/`. We put it there to keep all web-related things together, but you can organize however you like. Here's how the structure looks:
