The easiest way to create a new user is to do so from a client like [Element](https://element.io/).
|
|
|
|
|
|
-Alternatively you can do so from the command line if you have installed via pip.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-This can be done as follows:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-```sh
|
|
|
-$ source ~/synapse/env/bin/activate
|
|
|
-$ synctl start # if not already running
|
|
|
-$ register_new_matrix_user -c homeserver.yaml http://localhost:8008
|
|
|
+Alternatively, you can do so from the command line. This can be done as follows:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ 1. If synapse was installed via pip, activate the virtualenv as follows (if Synapse was
|
|
|
+ installed via a prebuilt package, `register_new_matrix_user` should already be
|
|
|
+ on the search path):
|
|
|
+ ```sh
|
|
|
+ cd ~/synapse
|
|
|
+ source env/bin/activate
|
|
|
+ synctl start # if not already running
|
|
|
+ ```
|
|
|
+ 2. Run the following command:
|
|
|
+ ```sh
|
|
|
+ register_new_matrix_user -c homeserver.yaml http://localhost:8008
|
|
|
+ ```
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This will prompt you to add details for the new user, and will then connect to
|
|
|
+the running Synapse to create the new user. For example:
|
|
|
+```
|
|
