# Create new services from the Render CLI

You (and your agents) can now create new services directly from the terminal using the [Render CLI's](https://render.com/docs/cli) `services create` command:

```bash
render services create \
  --name hello-world \
  --type web_service \
  --runtime node \
  --region virginia \
  --plan free \
  --repo https://github.com/render-examples/express-hello-world \
  --branch main \
  --build-command "yarn" \
  --start-command "node app.js" \
  --output json
```

As shown, you provide your service's initial configuration (service type, runtime, region, etc.) as individual options to this command.

For all supported options, run `render help services create` or see the generated [command reference](https://render.com/docs/cli-reference#services-create).
