Creating a profile is like riding a bike – you won't forget how to do it after following the steps below!

Step 1: launch CLI

You need to launch CLI (either by launching the executable or via Terminal/Command prompt). Follow the article for more details: How to start working with CLI.

Step 2: log in to authenticate

In order to get your API token, you will need to first log in to your account via the login command. Select your OS and follow the instructions below.

Windows

1. Paste this prompt to log in: 

   xcli login --username "your username" --password "your password"

2. Replace values of the flags  (--username and --password) with your email and password

 

 

macOS

1. Paste this prompt to log in: 

   ./xcli login --username “your username” --password “your password”

2. Replace values of the flags  (--username and --password) with your email and password

 

 

Linux

1. Paste this prompt to log in: 

   ./xcli login --username “your username” --password “your password”

2. Replace values of the flags  (--username and --password) with your email and password

 

 

Step 3: type the command and flags

One thing is remaining – type a command, and you are all set. 

1. Type a command xcli profile-create
2. Add flags to the command. CLI recognise them by --. The required flags are:  
   1. --name: choose any title for your profile. Don't forget to put it under quotation marks. E.g., ‘Multilogin profile’
   2. --os-type: 4 OS'es based on your choice – windows, macos, linux, android
   3. --browser-type: mimic or stealthfox. You can learn the difference in the following article: How to use Mimic and Stealthfox in Multilogin
   4. --cloud: cloud storage type. If you do not set it, the profile will have local storage type instead

      This step mentions only mandatory flags. The latest chapter explains the other flags. 

       
3. Press Enter.

Your profile is ready!
