Key Points

Access to a Fluent Account, including the Account Admin credentials
The Fluent CLI is successfully installed (see Getting Started with the Fluent CLI)
Postman (and the Fluent CLI Test Collection) - right click and save this file to your local machine, we will import this postman collection later during this training course.

Open the .json that contains your Technical Training Account credentials and make a note of the following:
- `fluent.account.client.id`
- `fluent.account.username`
- `fluent.account.password`
- `fluent.account.client.secret`
Open your Terminal Window as an administrator and enter the following command, replacing the values in the brackets < > with your values
`fluent profile create cli-b2c --id <ACCOUNT_ID> --base-url https://<account_id>.sandbox.api.fluentretail.com --username <account_id>_admin --password <password> --client-secret <client_secret>``

Make sure you replace the placeholders above with the relevant Account information.

Create the B2C retailer by executing the following command`fluent retailer create b2c --email b2c@test.com --profile cli-b2c`

`Once you have executed the above command, the new retailer B2C is created, take a note of the retailer id, this will be required later in the course.`

`Verify the account has been created`From your terminal window run the following commands:`fluent retailer list`
