+# Creating your own package
+We've been given some practical work on ROS, but the instructions were focused on _ROS Electric_ and __rosbuild__, so we spent some time trying to figure out how to use catkin and its workspace mechanism.
+    mkdir -p workspace/src
+    cd ./workspace/src
+    catkin_init_workspace
+    catkin_create_pkg myPackage roscpp ## Add dependencies, separated with spaces here, like: std_msgs rospy ...
+    # Time to do stuff here, like creating a main or whatever...
+    cd ./myPackage
+    vim ./src/main.cpp
+    # Time to add our file to the build list
+    vim CMakeList.txt
+    # Let's say from here, that's we've name our executable myExec
+    cd ../../
+    catkin_make
+Now, if you want to be able to use you workspace with rosrun and stuff _without installing it, it's time to source another setup.bash, `source workspace/devel/setup.bash`
+Time to run =) `rosrun myPackage myExec`
