# Creating a wallet
|
||||||
|
If `lnd` is being run for the first time, create a new wallet with:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
lncli create
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
This will prompt for a wallet password, and optionally a cipher seed
|
||||||
|
passphrase.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`lnd` will then print a 24 word cipher seed mnemonic, which can be used to
|
||||||
|
recover the wallet in case of data loss. The user should write this down and
|
||||||
|
keep in a safe place.
