### Creating A Simple Project And Jobset
In order to evaluate and build anything you need to crate _projects_ that contain _jobsets_. Hydra supports imperative and declarative projects and many different configurations. The steps below will guide you through the required steps to creating a minimal imperative project configuration.

#### Creating A Project
Log in as adminstrator, click "_Admin_" and select "_Create project_". Fill the form as follows:

- **Identifier**: `hello`
- **Display name**: `hello`
- **Description**: `hello project`

Click "_Create project_".

#### Creating A Jobset
After creating a project you are forwarded to the project page. Click "_Actions_" and choose "_Create jobset_". Fill the form with the following values:

- **Identifier**: `hello`
- **Nix expression**: `examples/hello.nix` in `hydra`
- **Check interval**: 60
- **Scheduling shares**: 1

We have to add two inputs for this jobset. One for _nixpkgs_ and one for _hydra_ (which we are referrencing in the Nix expression above):

- **Input name**: `nixpkgs`
- **Type**: `Git checkout`
- **Value**: `https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs-channels nixos-20.03`

- **Input name**: `hydra`
- **Type**: `Git checkout`
- **Value**: `https://github.com/nixos/hydra`

Make sure **State** at the top of the page is set to "_Enabled_" and click on "_Create jobset_". This concludes the creation of a jobset that evaluates [./examples/hello.nix](./examples/hello.nix) once a minute. Clicking "_Evaluations_" should list the first evaluation of the newly created jobset after a brief delay.
