# Create a project
	
Let's first [create a Catalyst project](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/getting-started/catalyst-projects/#create-a-catalyst-project) from the [Catalyst console](https://console.catalyst.zoho.com/baas/index). 

1. Log in to the [Catalyst console](https://console.catalyst.zoho.com/baas/index) and click **Create new Project**.

We will be implementing the components of  [Zia Services](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/zia-services/) in this tutorial using the  [Catalyst Zia Services SDK package](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/nodejs/v2/zia-services/ocr/).
