# Create a stream depot

Typically your administrator will create a stream depot for you and provide you with the depot name.

However, if you are creating a stream depot yourself, type the following:

    p4 depot -t stream depotname

The `-t` option of the p4 depot command specifies the type of depot to create, in this case a stream depot.

P4 Server opens the depot specification in an editor:
