Connect via Presto CLI
This page will help you download and configure the Presto command-line interface (CLI) to query your Presto Clusters. The official Presto CLI documentation can be found here.
Step 0: Identify your Presto cluster version and endpoint#
This step is for Ahana Cloud for Presto.
- Log into your Ahana Cloud SaaS Console.
- Go to Clusters.
- Make note of the Presto cluster version and endpoint under the Information and Connection Details section, respectively.

- 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.

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.
