# Introduction
Typically you start by using an existing distribution, then override some variables to define which software you want or don't want and how to configure them.
## Add new software
When needed you can write a new recipe to add a specific software that is not in Yocto recipes.
## Customize existing recipe
To customize an existing recipe, you have to create a folder and a `.bbappend` file with the same name as the recipe:
```raw
$POKY
└─ meta
└─ recipes-devtools
└─ apt
└─ apt_0.9.9.4.bb => Original recipe
$LAYER
└─ recipes-*
└─ apt
└── apt_0.9.9.4.bbappend => Override
```
