To follow this tutorial you will need a working MatterLinux installation
(minimum version 24.05). You also need to install the following packages
from the [`base` pool](/wiki/pools):
- an editor (`vim` and `nano` is avaliable on the `base` pool)
- build-essential
- [mtsc](https://git.matterlinux.xyz/matter/mtsc)

## Selecting a pool
If you want to add a new package to the official pools, you should
first choose the pool you want to add the package to. If you are
packaging a software that is fundamental to the OS, such as a kernel,
or a C library, you should add your package to the `base` pool.

to the `server` pool.
If none of these is the case then you should add the package to the `desktop`
pool.
first choose the pool you want to add the package to. You should check
the [list of official pools](/wiki/pools), and figure out which pool
your package belongs to.
## Fork the pool
After selecting the pool, fork it on Gitea and clone it to MatterLinux

```
$ git clone <git repo url>
$ git clone <git repository url>

Create a new branch for your package:

## Building the package
To build the newly created package, run the following in the `src` directory:
```
$ mp-build --no-sign <package name>
$ mp-build --no-sign lxterminal
```
This will install all the required dependencies, and only build the specified package.
## Testing the package
When the package is built, check out the newly created root directory inside the package directory
to make sure that everything is placed where it should be:
When build is completed, you will have a new `.mpf` package archive in the `dist` directory
of the package directory. You can check this archive for any potential issues using `mp-check`

```

## Creating a pull request
Back on the Gitea, create a pull request to the official repository. Provide information about
the package you added, and explain why you think its important to include this package.
Please patiently wait for a response from the maintainer(s) after creating your pull request,
if find out any problems with your package after creating the pull request, fix them and make more commits
to your new branch, they should automatically be added to the pull request.
## You are done!
If you follow every step correctly your pull request will be merged. After the merge, your package will
be added to the [development (next) pools](/wiki/pools) and after some testing it will make it's way to
the stable pools.
