[Ethereum] Create ether wallet account using node js and web3

Here is my deploy script that also handles waiting until the transaction is included in a block:

// Copyright 2017 https://tokenmarket.net - MIT licensed
//
// Run with Node 7.x as:
//
// node --harmony-async-await  deploy.js
//

let fs = require("fs");
let Web3 = require('web3'); // https://www.npmjs.com/package/web3

// Create a web3 connection to a running geth node over JSON-RPC running at
// http://localhost:8545
// For geth VPS server + SSH tunneling see
// https://gist.github.com/miohtama/ce612b35415e74268ff243af645048f4
let web3 = new Web3();
web3.setProvider(new web3.providers.HttpProvider('http://localhost:8545'));

// Read the compiled contract code
// Compile with
// solc SampleContract.sol --combined-json abi,asm,ast,bin,bin-runtime,clone-bin,devdoc,interface,opcodes,srcmap,srcmap-runtime,userdoc > contracts.json
let source = fs.readFileSync("contracts.json");
let contracts = JSON.parse(source)["contracts"];

// ABI description as JSON structure
let abi = JSON.parse(contracts.SampleContract.abi);

// Smart contract EVM bytecode as hex
let code = '0x' + contracts.SampleContract.bin;

// Create Contract proxy class
let SampleContract = web3.eth.contract(abi);

// Unlock the coinbase account to make transactions out of it
console.log("Unlocking coinbase account");
var password = "";
try {
  web3.personal.unlockAccount(web3.eth.coinbase, password);
} catch(e) {
  console.log(e);
  return;
}


console.log("Deploying the contract");
let contract = SampleContract.new({from: web3.eth.coinbase, gas: 1000000, data: code});

// Transaction has entered to geth memory pool
console.log("Your contract is being deployed in transaction at http://testnet.etherscan.io/tx/" + contract.transactionHash);

// http://stackoverflow.com/questions/951021/what-is-the-javascript-version-of-sleep
function sleep(ms) {
  return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));
}

// We need to wait until any miner has included the transaction
// in a block to get the address of the contract
async function waitBlock() {
  while (true) {
    let receipt = web3.eth.getTransactionReceipt(contract.transactionHash);
    if (receipt && receipt.contractAddress) {
      console.log("Your contract has been deployed at http://testnet.etherscan.io/address/" + receipt.contractAddress);
      console.log("Note that it might take 30 - 90 sceonds for the block to propagate befor it's visible in etherscan.io");
      break;
    }
    console.log("Waiting a mined block to include your contract... currently in block " + web3.eth.blockNumber);
    await sleep(4000);
  }
}

waitBlock();

If you want to send transactions from within geth, just type personal.unlockAccount(address) and then send transactions.

If you need the actual private key from outside geth, you can find the JSON file with all necessary information to retrieve the private key at the same directory as the ipc was started when you started geth (typically .ethereum if working in the main network), under keystore/

With this JSON file, you can import it in many wallets, or in metamask, and start sending transactions.

If you need the actual plaintext private key for raw signing or whatever you need it, load up the file to myetherwallet.com. I am aware of another way of manually decipher from within geth but I can not find it at the moment.
