How to Create an Account
In this how-to guide, you'll learn how to to create an account.
Anyone can use console.storacha.network (opens in a new tab) to create an account and manage their storage using a web browser. Developers can use the CLI or the JS/Go client libraries. We recommend that developers get familiar with the CLI since it's a powerful tool for many things you might want to do.
Using the CLI
The easiest way to create an account is using the CLI.
- Install the CLI from npm using your command line:
npm install -g @storacha/cli
. - Run
storacha login [email protected]
in the command line using your email address. This will send an email to your inbox with a link for validation. - Once you click on the validation link, you'll be taken to a webpage where you can enter your payment information and select a plan (like our Free tier).
- Now you have created an account.
Further information can be found in our CLI guide.
Using console.storacha.network
- Visit console.storacha.network (opens in a new tab).
- If you don't have an account, the website will ask you for your email address. Enter your email address and submit the form.
- Check your email for a message from Storacha including a link to confirm your intention to authenticate using the email you provided.
Using the JS Client
- Install the client library from npm using your command line:
npm install @storacha/client
. - Call
client.login('[email protected]')
, and wait for the promise to resolve. This will send an email to your inbox with a link for validation. - Once you click on the validation link, you'll be taken to a webpage where you can enter your payment information and select a plan (like our Free tier).
- Now you have created an account.
