title: Getting Started
#Getting Started
In this tutorial you will learn how to create your first CouchApp (embedded applications in [CouchDB](http://couchdb.apache.org)) using the `couchapp` script.
##1. Generate your application
couchapp provides you the `generate` command to initialize your first CouchApp. It will create an application skeleton by generating needed folders and files to start. Run:
$ couchapp generate helloworld
##2. Create a show function
To display our hello we will create a show function.
$ cd helloworld/
$ couchapp generate show hello
Here the generate command create a file named `hello.js` in the folder shows. The content of this file is :
function(doc, req) {
}
which is default template for `show` functions.
For now we only want to display the string "Hello World". Edit your show function like this:
function(doc, req) {
return "Hello World";
}
##3. Push your CouchApp
Now that we have created our basic application, it's time to **push** it to our CouchDB server. Our CouchDB server is at the url http://127.0.0.1:5985 and we want to push our app in the database testdb:
$ couchapp push testsb
Go on http://127.0.0.1:5984/testdb/_design/helloworld/index.html, you will see:
##4. Clone your CouchApp
So your friend just pushed the helloworld app from his computer. But you want to edit the CouchApp on your own computer. That's easy, just **clone** his application:
$ couchapp clone http://127.0.0.1:5984/testdb/_design/helloworld helloworld
This command fetch the CouchApp `helloworld` from the remote database of your friend.
Now you can edit the couchapp on your own computer.
