cPanel includes a built-in tool for running Python applications. You can create multiple apps, each with its own Python version, directory, domain or subdomain, and installed modules - all managed from one place.

## Creating an application

1. Log in to cPanel.
2. Click the **Setup Python App** icon.

3. Under **Setup new application**, choose your Python version, set the application directory, and select the domain or subdomain. Click **Setup** when done.

## Updating and removing applications

To change an existing application - for example, to update the Python version or change the application directory or URL - find it in the **Existing applications** section and make your edits.

:::warning
Changes do not take effect until you click the **Update** button at the bottom of the application panel.

To remove an application, click the **Remove** button at the bottom of the same panel.

## Installing modules

You can install Python modules either via SSH or through the cPanel interface. To use the interface, click the **Show** link next to **Modules** in the application panel.
