## Create a Parachain from scratch

<figure><img src="/files/CscoaVFUitlGjnoduKzJ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The repository contains two nodes \`parachain-node\` and \`solochain-node\` and one \`runtime\`. The goal of this tutorial is to help you convert your Substrate runtime to be compatible with the \`parachain-node\` and register a new parachain on the PASEO testnet.&#x20;

### Getting started

First step is to follow all the TODOs in the repository and convert your \`solochain-runtime\` to a \`parachain-runtime\` until it works with the \`parachain-node\`. To test the the local relaychain network, run the below command:

```
pop up parachain -f ./network.toml
```

If you are not familiar with the \`pop-cli\` tool, learn more in here: <https://github.com/r0gue-io/pop-cli>&#x20;
