Hi @Arman_khan,

You can deploy your contract using Remix and interact with it using Remix.  
As @Skyge said (🙏), you call `addMinter` to add an account as a minter (I used the same account that deployed the contract). You can then call `mint`.

As there doesn’t appear to be much unique functionality with this token, I suggest trying the following tutorial (there are screen shots to help):

- [Create an ERC20 using Remix, without writing Solidity](https://forum.openzeppelin.com/t/create-an-erc20-using-remix-without-writing-solidity/2908)

You could also look at the following:

- [Deploy a simple ERC20 token in Remix](https://forum.openzeppelin.com/t/deploy-a-simple-erc20-token-in-remix/1203)
- [Create an ERC20 using Truffle, without writing Solidity](https://forum.openzeppelin.com/t/create-an-erc20-using-truffle-without-writing-solidity/2713)
