You will be redirected to EPISODES Platform login system, where you will have to provide your user credentials to authenticate. For more details regarding this step see Quick Start Guide. Note that this screen might not be presented to you if you are already signed in with this login system. After authenticating you will see the registration screen (Figure 3). Here you have to provide a username that you wish to have for your account, and an email address that will be associated with that account. It is strongly recommended to give the same email address as the one used in the EPISODES Platform (the same email as was used to log in in the previous step)

After clicking Complete Account you will be redirected to Sign in screen (Figure 2). Clicking sign in with EPISODES Platform will now log you into your newly created account. Note: you can also use username / password to log in but to do that you have to first set up the password in the account settings. Nevertheless, it is recommended to sign in with the EPISODES Platform

Connecting EPISODES Platform account with Application Repository

To be able to use applications from Application Repository in the EPISODES Platform the platform needs to be given access to the Application Repository account. To do this, you have to enter Gitea Access Token. 

Go to Gitea Profile and Settings and click Settings:

Now go to EPISODFES Platform and use the button "Connect to Application Repository" in your profile settings ("Profile and affiliations" panel). Paste the Access Token you generated in the previous step in the input that will appear after clicking the button and confirm. Now you should be able to create new applications in the "My apps" tab.

Note: the option is currently available only to the users with role 'TESTER'
