# Setting up the app
For the Tonic Textual Snowflake Native App, you set up:
* A compute pool
* A warehouse to enable queries
## Setting up the compute pool
The compute pool must be specific to Textual.
For large-scale jobs, we highly recommend a GPU-enabled compute pool.
During setup and testing, you can use a CPU-only pool.
{% code overflow="wrap" %}
```sql
USE ROLE SYSADMIN;
CREATE COMPUTE POOL IF NOT EXISTS {YOUR_COMPUTE_POOL_NAME} FOR APPLICATION TONIC_TEXTUAL
MIN_NODES = 1
MAX_NODES = 1
INSTANCE_FAMILY = GPU_NV_S
AUTO_RESUME = true;
```
{% endcode %}
## Creating a warehouse for Textual to query Snowflake
To run SQL queries against Snowflake tables that the app manages, the app requires a warehouse.
{% code overflow="wrap" %}
```sql
USE ROLE ACCOUNTADMIN; CREATE WAREHOUSE {YOUR_TEXTUAL_WAREHOUSE_NAME} WITH WAREHOUSE_SIZE='MEDIUM';
GRANT USAGE ON WAREHOUSE {YOUR_TEXTUAL_WAREHOUSE_NAME} TO APPLICATION TONIC_TEXTUAL;
```
{% endcode %}
