$ cd catkin_package_creator
$ python create_package.py
The GUI will open. In the upper part please specify the package author's name, email, provide a short package description and specify the namespace and package name.
The tabs below allow you to define nodes, libraries, messages ..etc. click Add Node
button to add a new node.

The created package relies on catkin_simple
