# Creating a Wallet

Users can create Arweave and AO wallets without requiring any technical knowledge by using wallets like Wanderopen in new window or Beaconopen in new window.

These are third-party applications, so as with most of crypto DYOR before choosing a wallet.

# Generating a wallet programmatically

Arweave wallets can also be generated programatically.

# Creating a wallet with arweave-js

npm install arweave

arweave.wallets.generate().then((key) => {
    console.log(key);
    // {
    //     "kty": "RSA",
    //     "n": "3WquzP5IVTIsv3XYJjfw5L-t4X34WoWHwOuxb9V8w...",
    //     "e": ...
});

# Creating a wallet from the command line

If you would prefer to create an Arweave wallet through a command-line application, you can use the ArDrive CLI.

npm install -g ardrive-cli

You can generate a seed phrase with the command generate-seedphrase:

# Generate seed-phrase
ardrive generate-seedphrase
"this is an example twelve word seed phrase that you could use"

Or, you can generate a wallet file using generate wallet:

# Generate a wallet and store it in a chosen output file
ardrive generate-wallet > /path/to/wallet/file.json
