"I'm not able" sounds like you tried something, and it didn't work. Could you please include details, including the steps you took and any error messages encountered?

I've created a New ad-hoc WIFI network with its own SSID but I do not understand what to do after

if you have wired connection then do this:
- go to network connections and click "Add"
- the window will open choose "Wi-Fi"
connection name set up as you like example:"wifi-connection"
SSID:same thing
Mode:Hotspot
open your terminal and write commandifconfig(make sure your wlan in on) and there will be usually 3 subsections find where it writes something like "wl01" and look for HWaddr you should have something like this 74:de:3c:5i:1e:17 -> copy that addres and paste in "Device:"- go to wi-fi security ,and chose WPA & WPA2 personal -> set up password
iPV4 Settings -> Mode:Shared to other computers
Save
and you have your hotspot
