+
+2. In the "Framework" section, click on Panel.
+3. In the "Source code" section, click on "Upload your files".
+4. Upload your `.zip` file with the `app.py` and `requirements.txt` file.
+5. Click on "CREATE"
+6. Wait until deployment finishes. To see your app, click on the `VIEW APPLICATION` button.
+
+
+Full instructions for deploying Panel apps are available [here](https://docs.cloud.ploomber.io/en/latest/apps/panel.html).
+
+You can also deploy the panel app using the Ploomber command line interface by following the below steps:
+
+1. First, install the package:
+
+```bash
+pip install ploomber-cloud
+```
+
+2. Get an [API Key](https://docs.cloud.ploomber.io/en/latest/quickstart/apikey.html) and set the key:
+
+```bash
+ploomber-cloud key YOURKEY
+```
+
+3. `cd` into the panel app folder that you want to deploy.
+4. Initialize your project:
+
+```bash
+ploomber-cloud init
+```
+
+5. This will prompt you for the project type. You need to enter `panel`.
