Connecting to a Cluster

Connecting to a Cluster

See Ethereal Clusters for general information about the available clusters.

Configure the command-line tool

You can check what cluster the Ethereal command-line tool (CLI) is currently targeting by running the following command:

Etherealconfig get

Use Etherealconfig 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:

Ethereal config set --url https://explorer.testnet.Ethereal.com/rpc

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:

Ethereal--version

To get the cluster version, run:

Ethereal cluster-version

Ensure the local CLI version is greater than or equal to the cluster version.
