Solana Handbook

Command cheatsheet

Solana CLI commands

  • Get current config

    solana config get

  • Set CLI config url to localhost cluster

    solana config set --url localhost # useful for local development
solana config set -u l # shorter option, l stands for localhost
    solana config set --url devnet # useful for devnet testing
solana config set -u d # shorter option, d stands for devnet

    More at Clusters and Public RPC Endpoints

  • Create CLI Keypair

    solana-keygen new -o test.json

  • Airdrop

    As you may guess, Airdrop will only work on Devnet, Testnet or Localhost. No you cannot airdrop SOL on Mainnet!!

    solana airdrop 5

    You can also optionally specify the destination address of the airdrop

    solana airdrop 5 <YOUR_PUBKEY>

    You can also use the Solana Faucet to get some SOL.

  • Get PubKey from Keypair

    solana-keygen pubkey ~/my-solana-wallet/my-keypair.json

  • Run Solana test validator

    In most cases (99%) you DO NOT NEED TO start the local validator by yourself. Down below you can find the Anchor commands which will handle everything for you.

    solana-test-validator

  • Get logs from the Solana validator

    solana logs

Anchor commands

  • Initialize new project

    anchor init <your_project_name>

  • Build the project

    anchor build

  • Test the project (preferred)

    anchor test

  • Test the project (less preferred)

    In separate window, call: 
    solana-test-validator
    Within the anchor project directory
    • Build the project 
      anchor build
    • Run Tests without starting the local validator (as you started it manually in the step above) 
      anchor test --skip-local-validator
