Using OpenZeppelin’s contract wizard tool you’re able to fill in your desired token settings. You could do things like name your token, assign symbol, pre-mint specified # of tokens, make your tokens mintable, set access control, make your contract upgradable etc. As you hover over each option there’s a short explainer about what a specific feature does. For this example we’ll create a token called Shortcut Tutorial Token - $STT and premint 1,000,000 tokens.

Once all your token settings are filled in, click ‘Open in Remix’ from top right & ‘compile contract’

Once compiled, move over to deploy & run transactions section from left hand side on Remix, select your environment. We will be deploying to mainnet via MetaMask so in our case we are selecting Injected Provider - Metamask but to test things our you could deploy your token to one of the testnets first.
