# I can't create an application

* **You do not have permission to create an application.**

To create an application in an instance, you must be the Instance Editor. If you do not have the required role, ask an Instance Editor to create the application or use an instance for which you already have editor access.

* **You followed the wrong steps for creating an application.**

Ensure that you are following the correct procedure for creating an application. For more information, see the relevant [documentation](/features/applications/create-an-application.md).

* **You are in the Distributed instance.**

Each space includes a special instance named Distributed. This instance contains snapshots shared with other members of the space. Applications cannot be created from within the Distributed instance. To create an application, open another instance for which you have editor access.

* **You are not in CURRENT STATE.**

Applications can be created only from the CURRENT STATE of an instance. Navigate to CURRENT STATE before attempting to create the application.

* **You have lost connection to the internet.**

If your internet connection is interrupted, the request to create the application may not reach the server. Restore the connection, refresh the page, and try again.

* **There has been a server-side error and the application creation request was not properly processed by Nuvolos.**

In some cases, a server-side error may prevent the application creation request from being processed correctly. Wait a few minutes and then try again.
