Step 1: Download the Presto CLI executable JAR​

  1. Navigate to the Presto CLI build artifact page for your Presto version (or higher). The Presto CLI build artifacts are hosted at: https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/facebook/presto/presto-cli/ with a distinct directory for each Presto version. For example, if you wanted the 0.251 Presto version, you would navigate to https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/facebook/presto/presto-cli/0.251/.
  2. Download the executable JAR. This file is called presto-cli-{version}-executable.jar.

Step 2: Rename and make executable​

The CLI is a self-executing JAR file.

  1. For convenience, rename your executable JAR to presto.
  2. Make the JAR executable with chmod +x presto.

You will need a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on your local machine to to run the CLI. Make sure you have at least Java 8 or higher installed on your local machine.

Step 3: Connect to your Presto cluster​

  1. Using your Presto cluster endpoint and username, you can connect the Presto CLI to your cluster with the following command:
./presto --server https://reportingcluster.my-domain.cp.ahana.cloud --user Admin --password

  1. You will be prompted for your password.

  2. A successful connection with show you a Presto command line prompt: presto>. You can now submit queries to your cluster. For example:

presto> show catalogs;
