# You now have an .spk file. Yay!

# upload it, install it, and create a new instance of your app.
vagrant-spk will create a .sandstorm/ folder in your repo and set up some
files with some defaults for your app stack. You will likely need to modify
some of these to adapt their behavior to make the most sense for your app.
See the vagrant-spk docs on customizing your package for full details.
See the example app listing in the vagrant-spk documentation.
