electrum: Create a new wallet.
$ electrum -w ${new_wallet-dat} create
try on your machine

This command is using the Electrum wallet software to create a new wallet.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • electrum: It is the main command to run the Electrum wallet software.

  • -w: This option specifies that a wallet file will be used.

  • ${new_wallet-dat}: It is a placeholder or variable name for the wallet file name. The ${} syntax is often used in command-line interfaces to represent a variable. In this case, the variable name is "new_wallet-dat", which suggests that the wallet file will be named "new_wallet.dat".

  • create: This is a command given to the Electrum software to indicate that a new wallet should be created using the provided wallet file name.

Overall, when you run this command, it will execute the Electrum software and instruct it to create a new wallet with the specified wallet file name (in this case, "new_wallet.dat").
