Click the Start new machine button in the cloud dashboard to create a new cloud machine. This opens the dialog to start a new machine, where you are asked to make three different selections:

• In the GeoDict version panel, you can select the GeoDict version that should be installed on the cloud machine. Depending on your account, multiple versions or only a single version may be available. Click on a version to select it. This version is then highlighted in blue.
  
• In the Instance type panel, you can select different types of cloud machines. In the list you can see the Name, Number (#) of cores, RAM size, and if a GPU is available. Click on an instance type to select it. This instance type is then highlighted in blue.
  
• In the Cloud data panel, you can select a ZIP archive that you have uploaded to your cloud data table. You can also upload a new ZIP file here via the Upload new ZIP file button. Choose one of the available ZIP files or No ZIP File by clicking on it. The selected option is then highlighted in blue. The selected ZIP file will automatically be unpacked to the MyFirstGeoDictProject folder on the started cloud machine.
  
• In the Summary panel, you can see all selections made in the other three panels. When you have completed your selection, click on Run to start the cloud machine. Clicking on Back returns you to your dashboard.
  

After clicking Run, you automatically return to the cloud dashboard.

In the Running cloud machines panel of the dashboard, the new cloud machine is shown with the status Starting. The time it takes to start the cloud machine can vary depending on the selected instance type, the size of the uploaded data, and the current load on AWS. Once your machine is ready, the status indicator will change to Connect. Click on the Connect button to access the cloud machine.
