# Creating a Subplebbit / Windows

A beginners guide

**- First we will install the Plebbit-CLI:**\
You need to install [vc-redist](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170) first. After you install `vc-redist`, download the installer of [plebbit](https://github.com/plebbit/plebbit-cli/releases/latest/download/plebbit_installer_win32_x64.exe) and next your way to the end.\
\
vc-redist:\
\- <https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170>\
\
Plebbit Client:\
\- <https://github.com/plebbit/plebbit-cli/releases/latest/download/plebbit_installer_win32_x64.exe>\
\
**-** **Install both of these.**

**- Open windows PowerShell.** \
PowerShell is *a cross-platform task automation solution made up of a command-line shell, a scripting* language, and a configuration management. We will be using this to create your Subplebbit.\ <br>

Run the command "**Plebbit Daemon**" in your powershell window. You can also run Plebbit Daemon to see general info displayed in your Powershell Window.\
\> ***Plebbit Daemon***

**-  If you want to see the logs which include stuff like errors, warnings and also challenges received for  X  Subplebbit use this command   "** DEBUG="plebbit\*" plebbit daemon " **in your Powershell window.**<br>

<mark style="color:red;">**Important: Once you run the daemon, you will NEVER touch the daemon window again. Leave it open and running.**</mark>\
\
\
**-  To create a new Subplebbit and change it's settings open a new PowerShell window.**\
\
If this is not your first time creating a Subplebbit and you want to see what Subplebbits you have stored on your computer type: **"&#x20;*****plebbit subplebbit list*** " into your newly opened PowerShell window and hit enter.

**-  Once you've done this, it will display your current subplebbits and whether they are online or not.**\
The Address is the name/character string of your sub and Started is it's online status.

**-  Now to create a new Subplebbit enter the command: "** plebbit subplebbit create "<br>

**12D3KooWR8iTmteQiFsF23mMvyYASKe2JV7YQUtW5JA1mDKJVgui** is the name of your new Subplebbit!  for now it is a random string of characters, but later on you will be able to give it a name using .ETH and .SOL addresses. This is explained in it own standalone guide.\
\
**- Now we want to check the status of our new Subplebbit using the  "** *plebbit subplebbit list* **" command again. Your PowerShell window should look like this now:**

* Now your new Subplebbit is created and online! You can access it by prefacing your Subplebbit address with any of these URLs. Each one displays your subplebbit data within a different GUI. (Graphics User Interface)\
