# Create a Github Account

Before deploying applications with Health Universe, you’ll need a GitHub account.

* **If you don’t have a GitHub account:**\
  Visit [www.github.com](https://www.github.com/) and create one by following the sign-up instructions. Health Universe connects your account to your GitHub user profile.
* **If you already have a GitHub account:**\
  You can skip this step and proceed to [linking your GitHub account ](/overview/building-apps-in-health-universe/getting-started-with-health-universe/link-your-github-account-to-your-health-universe-account.md)to your Health Universe account.
