# The one-hour setup path

> The fastest order for Applane setup when one person holds every right: DNS first, then groups, GCP project, OAuth, Chrome policy, checker, first app.

Source: https://docs.applane.dev/start/one-hour-setup/

This is the order that avoids waiting. Do step 1 first because DNS takes the longest to show up; everything else runs while it propagates.

1. **Sign up** at the Applane console with your work account and create the company. 2 minutes. [Sign up](https://docs.applane.dev/console/sign-up/)
2. **Add the TXT record** the console shows you. 5 minutes. [Verify your domain](https://docs.applane.dev/console/verify-domain/)
3. **Create the builders group** `applane-builders@<YOUR_DOMAIN>` in the Google Admin console, plus `applane-admins@<YOUR_DOMAIN>` and the `applane-bot@<YOUR_DOMAIN>` account. 5 minutes. [Accounts and groups](https://docs.applane.dev/workspace-admins/accounts-and-groups/)
4. **Prepare the GCP project.** Open in Cloud Shell, or run the script. 10 minutes. [Set up the project](https://docs.applane.dev/gcp-admins/setup/)
5. **Consent screen and OAuth client** in the Google Cloud console. 5 minutes. [OAuth consent screen](https://docs.applane.dev/gcp-admins/oauth-consent-screen/), [OAuth client](https://docs.applane.dev/gcp-admins/oauth-client/)
6. **Allow or force-install the extension** in the Google Admin console. 5 minutes. [Chrome extension policy](https://docs.applane.dev/workspace-admins/chrome-extension-policy/)
7. **Paste the values into the console and run the checker.** 5 minutes. [Setup checklist](https://docs.applane.dev/console/setup-checklist/)
8. **Install the extension and sign in yourself.** Turn on the Apps Script API when the extension asks. 3 minutes. [Install and sign in](https://docs.applane.dev/builders/install-and-sign-in/)
9. **Build one app.** 10 minutes. [Your first app](https://docs.applane.dev/builders/first-app/)

If the DNS record has not propagated by step 8, the extension shows `unknown_domain`. Wait and try again; nothing else needs redoing. See [Error messages](https://docs.applane.dev/reference/errors/).
