I have a question for the Steemian community. I've googled far and wide and could not find any howto on this subject.

This post from lantto@lantto is good to get the basics on starting the cli_wallet, setting the password and unlocking the wallet , see How to use the steem cli wallet

here are the commands that seems to be a good start:
cli_wallet
set_password yourpassword
unlock yourpassword

Here primus@primus hints that there is a way to create a steem account from the cli wallet as described here in ...4 different ways...

Now those seems to be the command needed to create an account, but the missing parameters make it a guess, the source code barely helps.

get_account – to check the new account name for availability
suggest_brain_key – to generate account access keys (owner, active, posting and memo)
create_account – to register an account with previously generated keys (don’t forget to save them!)

Another post from timcliff@timcliff for example talk about a new tool ... create new steem account ... and the need to send steem dollars to that account for it's creation, but there is no good cli wallet how to do that, and I do not know if it is applicable here.

If you have done this before, please comment below and share your knowledge with the community.

I look forward to following you!
