Now follow these steps:

Step 1

As you know before anything you need to create a new application on Google App Engine, go to Google App Engine and sign in to your Google account:

If it is your first application that you are trying to make in GEA, then Google will verify your account by sending an SMS to your mobile phone number. Follow the Google instruction and sign in.

Step 2
In Create an Application window, enter a name (sub domain) for your application and click on the Check Availability button. After you select a proper sub domain for your application then submit a title for it also. I have made my application name csarchive-hykproxy and its title CSArchive Hyk Proxy. Hit the Create Application button to generate the application.

Step 3
For creating a Google application and using the Hyk-Proxy application, we need to download the AppEngine Java SDK and Java. To download follow the links below:

AppEngine Java SDK (53.6Mb)

or download from the official website:

Google App Engine

Java (860.7Kb)

or download from the official website:

Java.com

Step 4
Install the Java platform on your system (if you don’t already have it) and unzip the App Engine Java SDK and place it on your desktop or where ever you want. You don’t need to install the App Engine Java SDK.

Step 5
Download Hyk-Proxy Installer, Hyk-Proxy and Hyk-Proxy Server from the links below:

Hyk-Proxy Install v0.9.4.1 (3.3Mb)

or download from the official website:

code.google.com/p/hyk-proxy

Hyk-Proxy Server v0.9.4.1 (3.5Mb)

or download from the official website:

code.google.com/p/hyk-proxy

Hyk-Proxy v0.9.4.1 (3.2Mb)

or download from the official website:

code.google.com/p/hyk-proxy

Step 6
Open the hyk-proxy-server file and double-click on install.bat. The AppCfgWrapper window will be opened. In front of SDK Location, enter the appengine-java-sdk path on your system and select Apply. I copied it in my C: drive, so my appengine-java-sdk location is C:\appengine-java-sdk.

Step 7
We should now deploy the application. Before that first you go to your Google mail account to create a specific password for your application. Sign in to your Google mail settings and front of Authorising application & sites, select Edit. Verify your password to go the next window.

Under the Enter a name to help you remember what application this is for, type the name of your Google application (sub domain) and click on Generate password. Keep this window open and go back to the Hyk-Proxy GUI Wrapper.

Step 8
Inside AppEngine AppCfg GUI Wrapper, type your Google email address and the new generated password (you only need to enter this specific password one time) and select Deploy button. Wait until the process finished. You will see a message that says Update complete successfully.

To see if your application deployed successfully, open your Internet browser and in the address bar enter

http://your-app-sub-domain-name.appspot.com

Example:
