To create a new Gmail account, follow these steps:

1. Visit the Gmail website by going to gmail.com or accounts.google.com/signup.
2. Click the "Create an account" button, usually found at the top-right corner of the page.
3. Choose the account type (for personal use, for a child, or for work/business).
4. Fill in your personal information including first and last name, desired username, and a strong password.
5. Enter additional details like birth date and optionally gender.
6. Verify your phone number by entering a code sent to you via SMS.
7. Accept Google's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

You can also create the account via the Gmail app on mobile by following a similar flow where you tap "Add account," select "Google," and then choose "Create account" to start the registration steps. This setup grants access to Gmail's email services and Google's ecosystem, including Calendar, Drive, and more.
