1	project name	as will appear in your project`s list; restrictions: space, - and _ allowed.
2	email	the requestor is the one managing the applications running on the project; this email will receive messages (alert and notifications) for when the project / application is ready to be used; the email alerts for the VM / application run - is part of the instance.txt** file, specific for every application launch
3	client name	(also known as the Boxalino account name) this is to ensure the access to the views, core & reports dataset is shareddatasets
4	labels	optional; the labels are used as project meta-information. see Labels
5	permissions	optional; by default, the requestor will have full access and can further share with others. see Permissions

Once the project is created (2-3 min), the requestor will have access to it, in their Google Cloud Console.

As an editor on the project, the requestor will be able to:

your jupyter/python/application files

1	instance.txt	properties for the VM machine (name, size, root path, etc) (see Instance instance.txt)
2	requirements.txt	environment requirements (for pip/anaconda install) (see Requirements requirements.txt) `pip freeze > requirements.txt` - command to create the file from a tested environment
3	commands.txt	a list of commands to be executed as part of your application run process (see comands.txt) *can be left empty as well (if you chose to SSH on the VM and run your own processes from the project`s scope)
4		the content of your application (in python, jupyter notebooks, etc)	5	env.yml	(optional) anaconda environment file; if no file is provided - the environment is not created

...


5	your jupyter/python/application files	the content of your application (in python, jupyter notebooks, etc)

Note
The #1-#4 files must be named as instructed. They are used as a base for the application runstart-up.

Infonote
instance.txt, requirements.txt and commands.txt must end with an empty line (they are parsed dynamically)

Info

These files (and other required structures) must be uploaded in a GCS bucket.

The GCS bucket path name is provided for the Application Launch Request

	Property	Default	Required	Description
1	instance-name	project name	yes	the instance name is the VM name as appears in the Compute Engine view
2	machine-type	e2-micro	yes	the value depends on what the application needs: more CPU or more RAM? for options, please check the Google Cloud documentation
3	email-to		yes	the email is used once to receive an alert for when the VM is ready.
4	root-dir	\/home\/project-name	no	the path on the server where the content of the GCS bucket is uploaded; this is also used for the commands from the commands.txt file in order to launch/trigger your application execution. alternatives: \/home\/<your-gcs-bucket> , \/srv\/app _{when you SSH in the machine (ex: your email is}_{data-science-guru@boxalino-client.com}_{) , the VM creates a directory /home/data-science-guru (this is default for any server) so this is your local path;}
5	image-family	ubuntu-2004-lts	no
6	boot-disk-size	30	no
7	zone	europe-west1-b	no

Info
If your setup has been tested locally, you can save all the packages in the file with with the command `$pip pip freeze > requirements.txt.` Keep in mind that in this case, requirements.txt file will list all packages that have been installed in virtual environment, regardless of where they came from

...

You can also include other commands same as the application has been tested on the local environment.

Code Block
chmod -R 777 <root-dir value from instance.txt>/* papermill <root-dir value from instance.txt>/process.ipynb <root-dir value from instance.txt>/process-output.ipynb
