How do you create a new user in Linux?

In Linux systems, you can use the following command to create a new user:

1. create a new user

sudo useradd username

In this case, the username is the new user’s username.

1. Create a new password for the new user.

sudo passwd username

The system will prompt for the new user’s password and then require confirmation of the password.

1. Optional: customize the personal information for new users, such as their real name, phone number, and more.

sudo usermod -c "Real Name" username
sudo usermod -s /bin/bash username

1. Option: Assign new users to a specific user group.

sudo usermod -aG groupname username

“Where groupname is the name of the user group.”

1. Option: Optional: Create a home directory for the new user (if not already created automatically):

sudo mkdir /home/username
sudo chown username:username /home/username

The username is the new user’s username.

Note: The “sudo” in the above command is used to execute the command with administrator privileges.
