1. Login to your edx instance and change to edxapp user, activate edx platform virtual environment and cd into exd-platform folder.

2. With the following command create a new app. `./manage.py lms startapp your-app-name`

3. Copy and paste the codes of admin.py, forms.py, and models.py files to the newly created app.

4. Add the newly created app to your lms.env.json file just like this. `“ADDL\_INSTALLED\_APPS”:[“your-app-name”],

5. Add the newly created form to your lms.env.json file like this “REGISTRATION\_EXTENSION\_FORM”: “your-app-name.forms.YourForm”,`

6. Run migrations.

Thanks,
