# How To Create An Account

## Goal

Register an account in the system and delegate staked tokens to it so that this account can perform transactions.

## Before you begin

* Install the currently supported version of `cleos`.
* Understand the following:
  * What is an [account](https://docs.cyberway.io/users/glossary#account);
  * What is a [public](https://docs.cyberway.io/users/glossary#public-key) and [private](https://docs.cyberway.io/users/glossary#private-key) key pair.
* Created an Owner and an Active key pair.
* Imported a key pair which can authorize on behalf of a creator account.

## Steps

User `alice` creates the `bob` account name and transfers to him 100 CYBER tokens:

```bash
$ cleos system newaccount alice bob "100.0000 CYBER"
```

If the `--transfer` flag is added to command line then staked tokens will irrevocably be transferred to created account:

```bash
$ cleos system newaccount alice bob "100.0000 CYBER" --transfer
```
