Note: To create a scratch org with the Einstein1AIPlatform feature, the scratch org you create can be a Partner Developer, Partner Enterprise, Developer, or Enterprise edition.

Step 2: Create the Scratch Org using Salesforce CLI Commands.

To create a scratch org for 30 days, run this Salesforce CLI command on the Terminal. Update the definition-file name, alias, and target-dev-hub alias as needed.


Step 3: Generate Scratch Org Password.

You have to generate a password for your scratch org.

After running this command, you will get this type of message.
