 The information on how to do this can be found in /html/Howto.html under the doxygen generated docs for nox. As the steps require file creation, compilation, ect, you may need root privelages on the machine. The rough steps are as follows:
 
-1. Run nox-new-c-app.py from coreapps, netapps, or webapps (all three directories are found in ${NOXPATH}/nox/src/nox). 
+1. Run nox-new-c-app.py from coreapps, netapps, or webapps (all three directories are found in ${NOXPATH}/nox/src/nox), where ${NOXPATH} is the place with your working nox directory). 
 {{{
- /home/openflow/nox/src/scripts/nox-new-c-app.py -v cnf-test
+ /home/openflow/nox/src/scripts/nox-new-c-app.py -v cnf_test
 }}}
 
- nox-new-c-app.py basically creates a directory containing the framework for your application (Makefile, meta.json, ect), basing it on coreapps/simple_c_app. Your app gets created in whichever directory you run nox-new-c-app.py from; in this case we created a new app "cnf-test" in directory netapps.

 2. run `boot.sh` and `configure` so nox can find and load the app when it starts up:
 {{{
-sh /home/openflow/nox/boot.sh 
-/home/openflow/nox/configure
+./boot.sh                       #this is found in the root of your nox directory e.g. ~/nox/boot.sh
+cd build
+../configure
+make
 }}}  
 
+3. to test if your app is there, you can watch out for it being loaded when you do a dry run of nox_core:
+{{{
+root@node1-4:~/nox/build/src# ./nox_core -i ptcp:6633 -v
+00001|nox|INFO:Starting nox_core (/home/openflow/nox/build/src/.libs/lt-nox_core)
+...
+00006|pyrt|DBG:Loading a component description file 'nox/coreapps/cnf_test/meta.json'.
+}}}
 
+or try loading it:
+{{{
+ ./nox_core -i ptcp:6633 -v "cnf test"
+}}}
+note that any underscores in the name of your app become spaces - e.g. "cnf_test" becomes "cnf test"
+
+If you see the following after issuing the above command, you have a working framework:
+{{{
+00046|openflow|DBG:Passive tcp interface bound to port 6633
+00047|nox|INFO:nox bootstrap complete
+00048|openflow|DBG:Passive tcp interface received connection 
+00049|openflow|DBG:stream: negotiated OpenFlow version 0x01 (we support versions 0x01 to 0x01 inclusive, peer no later than version 0x01)
+...
+}}}
