Alternatively, you can do so from the command line. This can be done as follows:
1. If synapse was installed via pip, activate the virtualenv as follows (if Synapse was
installed via a prebuilt package, `register_new_matrix_user` should already be
on the search path):
```sh
$ source ~/synapse/env/bin/activate
$ synctl start # if not already running
$ register_new_matrix_user -c homeserver.yaml http://localhost:8008
cd ~/synapse
source env/bin/activate
synctl start # if not already running
```
2. Run the following command:
```sh
register_new_matrix_user -c homeserver.yaml http://localhost:8008
```

the running Synapse to create the new user. For example:
```
