+## WUPS library
+To be able to create own plugins, you need the Wii U Plugin System library.
+Make sure you have set up the [toolchain](dev_toolchain_setup).
+
+### Download the lib
+Clone the WiiUPluginSystem repository.
+
+```Bash
+git clone --recursive https://github.com/Maschell/WiiUPluginSystem.git
+```
+
+### Compiling and installing
+Then call the following command in the root directory.
+```Makefile
+make
+make install
+```
+The "make" builds the library, the "make install" copies it into your `DEVKITPRO` folder.
+
+## WUT
+[wut](https://github.com/decaf-emu/wut) is a Wii U Toolchain / SDK for creating rpx/rpl, which provides header for most system 
+rpl files (like coreinit, gx2 etc.). It provides stub libraries for these rpl's, including exports for all functions.  
+WUPS plugins support using system functions by linking against the wut libraries.  
+  
+Instructions on how to install wut can be found on the [official repository](https://github.com/decaf-emu/wut).
+
+**Make sure to set the `WUT_ROOT` environment variable to the place where you installed wut.**
+
+## libutils (wut edition)
+[libutils](https://github.com/Maschell/libutils/tree/wut) (wut branch) is a library which provides common functions to the user. 
+This includes logging, file access and many more. See the repository for instruction on how install and use it.  
+
+**Note:** You may have already installed the non-wut version to compile the plugin loader. 
+Plugins will most likely need the **wut** branch/version.
