**Step 1: Install the Nexa Wallet/Full Node**

The first step in creating your Nexa token is downloading and installing the Nexa Wallet/Full Node. This can be done by visiting the official Nexa website and downloading the appropriate version for your operating system. Once the wallet is installed, please open it and let it sync with the blockchain.

**Step 2: Open the debug Window and console**

Once the wallet is open, navigate to the “Help” menu and select “Debug Window.” This will open the Debug Window, which contains the Console. The Console is a command-line interface that allows you to interact with the blockchain and perform various functions, such as creating a token.

**Step 3: Generate the command to mint a token**

To generate the command to mint a token, enter `help token`into the Console and press enter. This will display a list of commands related to tokens, including the command to mint a new token.

**Step 5: Prepare the token**

`token new <name> <ticker>`

For example `token new apple APPL` will return the following result:

{  
“groupIdentifier”: “nexa:tznx7vxknz0c9g6q2p7zp6aga7d4cdhq0q3svprymaskg63u8vqqqzx72ewqa”,  
“transaction”: “2655da249e91d2824974f03bb314b5e5e87814c38cbf0745f5c2966e38350709”  
}

**Step 4: Mint the token**

Navigate to the receive tab and click the Request payment button to generate a Nexa address to receive the tokens.

Use the address and group identifier from step 4 to finally mint the token:

Type the command`token mint <groupIdentifier> <address> 1000` into the console and press enter. This will mint a new token and assign it your specified address.

**Step 5: Check Token Balances**

To check the balance of your tokens, enter the command `token balance`into the Console and press enter. This will display the balance of all the tokens in your wallet.

You can also navigate to the token tab and view the newly minted token there:

To view information about your tokens, such as the total supply, enter the command “token info” into the Console and press enter. This will display information about all the tokens in your wallet.
