# create-network

Create a Rumi private network in a Civo region.

## Syntax

```bash
rumi cloud civo create-network \
  --api-key <token> \
  --region <region> \
  --network <network> \
  [options]
```

## Options

| Option      | Short | Description                                                  | Default  |
| ----------- | ----- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | -------- |
| `--api-key` | `-k`  | The Civo API token to use (or set `CIVO_API_TOKEN`)          | Required |
| `--region`  | `-r`  | The Civo region in which to create the network (e.g. `FRA1`) | Required |
| `--network` | `-n`  | The name to give the new network                             | Required |

## Example

```bash
rumi cloud civo create-network \
  --api-key $CIVO_API_TOKEN \
  --region FRA1 \
  --network my-cloud
```

## Notes

* Fails if a network of this name already exists in the region; tear it down first with [delete-network](/rumi-cli/commands/cloud/civo/delete-network.md) or [deprovision](/rumi-cli/commands/cloud/civo/deprovision.md).
