+title: Creating a New Application
+---
+
+This tutorial provides instructions on **Creating a New Application** from scratch.
+
+### 1. Create new project development directory
+
+ ```sh
+ $ cd ~/agl-app
+ $ mkdir newapp/
+ $ cd newapp/
+ ```
+
+### 2. Source the SDK environment setup
+
+ ```sh
+ $ source ~/agl-app/agl-sdk/environment-setup-corei7-64-agl-linux
+ ```
+
+### 3. Copy initial CMAKE configuration templates
+
+ ```sh
+ $ mkdir -p conf.d/cmake
+ $ cp ${OECORE_NATIVE_SYSROOT}/usr/share/doc/CMakeAfbTemplates/samples.d/config.cmake.sample conf.d/cmake/config.cmake
+ $ cp ${OECORE_NATIVE_SYSROOT}/usr/share/doc/CMakeAfbTemplates/samples.d/CMakeLists.txt.sample CMakeLists.txt
+ ```
+
+### 4. Edit CMAKE configuration template
+
+ ```sh
+ $ vim ~/agl-app/newapp/conf.d/cmake/config.cmake

+### 5. Copy WGT configuration template
+
+ ```sh

+ $ cp ${OECORE_NATIVE_SYSROOT}/usr/share/doc/CMakeAfbTemplates/samples.d/config.xml.in.sample conf.d/wgt/config.xml.in

+
+### 6. Run CMAKE and Generate autobuild
+
+ ```sh
+ $ mkdir build/
+ $ cd build/
+ $ cmake ..
+ $ make autobuild
+ ```
+
+### 7. Create app directory
+
+ ```sh
+ $ cd ..
+ $ mkdir app/
+ $ cd app/
+ ```
+ This `app` directory holds the C++, qrc, qml code & CMakeLists.txt ;
+
+ - Add `main.cpp` file which contains the functional C code :
+
+ ```sh
+ $ vim main.cpp
