# Creating a Fleet

To create a fleet, you first must have an existing platform. If you're unfamiliar with platforms, it is recommended you first consult the [Platform User Guide](/user-guides/platform-user-guide.md). 

## How to create a fleet

If you navigate to the fleet panel and click the *Create Fleet* button, you will be greeted with the fleet creation wizard which will walk you through the setup process for your fleet.

You will first be asked to give your fleet a name and region. This information is useful later for monitoring.

Upon clicking *Save & Continue*, your fleet will be created. If you have not created any chips, you will be asked to create a new chip for this fleet. This form is identical to the one found in the [Creating Chips](/user-guides/platform-user-guide/creating-chips.md) guide. This is so you can enroll your machines.

If you have already created a chip, you will instead be asked first if you would like to select an existing chip. You can of course still opt to create a new chip using the *Add Chip* button.

After you add a chip, you will be prompted with the machine enrollment form. You can follow the instructions on screen to enroll a new machine or you can opt to enroll later using the *Enroll Later* button. More information about enrolling machines can be found in the [Enrolling Machines](/user-guides/fleet-user-guide/enrolling-machines.md) guide.
