+Creating a new Pack
+====================================
+
+Prerequisites
+------------------------------------
+
+You'll need to have `Python 3.8 <https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-382/>`_ and `poetry <https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry>`_
+to develop Royalnet Packs.
+
+Creating the repository
+------------------------------------
+
+To create a new pack, create a new repository based on the `Royalnet Pack template <https://github.com/Steffo99/royalnet-pack-template>`_
+and clone it to your workspace.
+
+After cloning the template, run ``poetry install`` to install the dependencies for the pack, creating the ``poetry.lock`` file.
+
+pyproject.toml
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ``pyproject.toml`` file contains information about your Python project that will be read by ``poetry`` while building
+the pack and publishing it to PyPI.
+
+Choose a name for your Pack and set it in the ``tool.property.name`` field: ::
+
+    [tool.poetry]
+        # TODO: Insert here your Pack name!
+        name = "pastapack"
+        # ...
+
+Follow the instructions in the other ``# TODO`` comments to finish editing the file.
+
+examplepack
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ``examplepack`` folder contains the source code of your pack, and should be renamed to the name you set in the ``pyproject.toml`` file.
+
+It should contain a ``version.py`` file and six folders: ::
+
+    examplepack
+    ├── commands
+    ├── events
+    ├── stars
+    ├── tables
+    ├── types
+    ├── utils
+    └── version.py
+
+version.py
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ``version.py`` file contains the version number of your pack.
+
+If you changed the ``version`` field in the ``pyproject.toml`` file, change the value of ``semantic`` in ``version.py`` to the same value.
+
+Remember to use `semantic versioning <https://semver.org/>`_! ::
+
+    semantic = "1.0.0"
+
+The commands folder
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The commands folder should contain all commands that your Pack will add to the Royalnet instances it is installed in.
+
+To learn how to create a new :class:`~commands.Command`, read the :doc:`command` page.
+
+The events folder
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The events folder should contain all events (remote procedure calls) that your Pack will add to the Royalnet instances it is installed in.
+
+To learn how to create a new :class:`~commands.Event`, read the :doc:`event` page.
+
+The stars folder
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The stars folder should contain all stars (webserver routes) that your Pack will add to the Royalnet instances it is installed in.
+
+To learn how to create a new :class:`~constellation.PageStar`, read the :doc:`star` page.
+
+The tables folder
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The tables folder should contain all Alchemy tables (SQLAlchemy-compatible SQL tables) that your Pack will add to the Royalnet instances it is installed in.
+
+To learn how to create a new table, read the :doc:`table` page.
+
+The utils folder
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The utils folder should contain the utility functions and classes that your Pack uses.
+
+Its contents are imported **before** the commands, events and stars but **after** the tables, so **you can't import them** in the files contained in the ``tables`` folder, or you will create a `circular import <https://stackabuse.com/python-circular-imports/>`_!
+
+Files in this folder are **forbidden from importing modules** from the ``commands``, ``events`` and ``stars`` folders, as that will create a circular import too.
+
+The types folder
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The types folder should contain the enums and custom types that are used in your tables.
+
+Please note that the contents of this folder are imported **before** everything else in the pack.
+
+Its contents **can be imported anywhere** in the Pack, including the ``tables`` folder, without creating a circular import.
+
+However, its files are **forbidden from importing anything else** from the rest of the pack!
+
+Adding new dependencies to the Pack
+------------------------------------
+
+As the Pack is actually a Python package, you can use ``poetry`` (or ``pip``) to add new dependencies!
+
+Use ``poetry add packagename`` to add and install a new dependency from the PyPI.
+
+Publishing the pack
+------------------------------------
+
+To publish your Pack on the PyPI, run ``poetry build``, then ``poetry publish``.
+
+Poetry will build your Pack and upload it to the PyPI for you.
