# Evidently Cloud

> How to set up Evidently Cloud account.

<Note>
  Evidently Cloud is no longer available as a SaaS product, but you can self-host the open-source Evidently Platform or continue using the Evidently library integrated with other tools.
</Note>

## 1. Create an Account

* If not yet, sign up for a [free Evidently Cloud account](https://app.evidently.cloud/signup).
* After logging in, create an **Organization** and name it.

## 2. Connect from Python

<Info>
  You need this for programmatic tasks like tracing or logging local evals. Many other tasks can be done directly on the platform.
</Info>

### Get a Token

Click the **Key** menu icon to open the [Token page](https://app.evidently.cloud/token). Generate and save token securely.

### Install Evidently

[Install](/docs/setup/installation) the Evidently Python library.

```python theme={null}
pip install evidently ## or pip install evidently[llm]
```

### Connect

Import the cloud workspace and pass your API token to connect:

```python theme={null}
from evidently.ui.workspace import CloudWorkspace

ws = CloudWorkspace(
token="API_KEY",
url="https://app.evidently.cloud")
```

<Note>
  For Evidently 0.6.7 and Evidently Cloud v1, use `from evidently.ui.workspace.cloud import CloudWorkspace`. [Read more](/faq/cloud_v2).
</Note>

<Check>
  You can also provide the API key by setting the environment variable `EVIDENTLY_API_KEY`.
</Check>

You are all set! Create a Project and run your first [evaluation](/quickstart_llm).
