The Darcy AI Explorer application is a great way to experience Darcy for the first time. This sample application is rich in features so you can get a sense for what Darcy provides you as a developer.
Follow the steps in this guide to get your device connected to the Darcy Cloud and deploy the Darcy AI Explorer application.
The Darcy Cloud gives you management of all your edge devices and edge applications in one place. You can open an SSH shell session on demand, deploy applications, and see the health and status for every device. All of this functionality works no matter where your edge devices are physically located, even when they are behind NAT layers and firewalls. Use the Darcy Cloud to make building, deploying, and debugging easier, and then use it to operate your edge AI applications in production systems.

Click on the "plus button" and choose "app" to deploy a new application to your device. In the pop-up choose the "Darcy AI Explorer App" and then click "Next". Choose your device from the drop-down menu and then click "Deploy". The Darcy AI Explorer application will begin to download to your device. You can track the status of the app in the Darcy Cloud UI. When the app is listed as "Running" you can proceed to the next step.
