title: Connecting to a Cluster
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
See [Solana Clusters](../clusters.md) for general information about the
|
|
available clusters.
|
|
|
|
## Configure the command-line tool
|
|
|
|
You can check what cluster the Solana command-line tool (CLI) is currently targeting by
|
|
running the following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
solana config get
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Use `solana config set` command to target a particular cluster. After setting
|
|
a cluster target, any future subcommands will send/receive information from that
|
|
cluster.
|
|
|
|
For example to target the Devnet cluster, run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
solana config set --url https://devnet.solana.com
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Ensure Versions Match
|
|
|
|
Though not strictly necessary, the CLI will generally work best when its version
|
|
matches the software version running on the cluster. To get the locally-installed
|
|
CLI version, run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
solana --version
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To get the cluster version, run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
solana cluster-version
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Ensure the local CLI version is greater than or equal to the cluster version.
