# Creating a sample

Creating a new sample for ApertusVR happens the same way as creating a plugin. In the following example, we create a new sample called "ipCamera":

```
ApertusVR\utilities\apm>python apm.py create sample ipCamera
Creating new sample with the following properties:
  name: ipCamera
  path: ../../samples/ipCamera/
  class name: ApeIpCamera
  cpp file path: ../../samples/ipCamera/ApeIpCamera.cpp
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
```

If you find everything in order, type '**y**' and press enter to continue.

If you want to add your newly created sample to samples/CMakeLists.txt, just type '**y**' when *apm* asks it:

```
Add to samples/CMakeLists.txt? [Y/n] y
```

In order to see your new sample in your IDE, don't forget to

1. regenerate the CMake project
2. reload / reopen the generated project file in your IDE.

after editing *CMakeLists.txt* files.
