Use an existing wallet keystore file or execute the following command to generate a new one:

**Note**: The program will prompt you to enter a password, <mark style="color:purple;">please remember this password for future use.</mark> The generated keystore file will have a corresponding **node address**, Please keep it properly to avoid losing it, it will be used in the dashboard configuration

**#Change to the decompressed program directory. Be sure to select the disk directory where you decompressed the files.**

```bash
cd C:\privasea\usb-windows-node   
```

**#the following command to generate the keystore:**

<pre><code><strong>./calc.exe  new_keystore
</strong></code></pre>

```

Once the wallet is successfully generated, you will see the following information:

```
