Network Environments

Connecting to specific network environment

When you are working on Sui development, you will need to connect to a specific Sui Full node on a Sui network.

CLI

# Display network environments 
sui client envs

# Switch to a network environment
sui client switch --env <ENVIRONMENT>

# Add a network environment
sui client new-env --alias <ENVIRONMENT> --rpc <RPC-URL>

Python

# pysui uses the environment alias settings in client.yaml
# Use CLI command sui client switch --env <ALIAS_NAME> to change network

TypeScript

import { SuiClient, getFullnodeUrl } from '@mysten/sui.js/client';

// create a client object connected to localnet
const client = new SuiClient({ url: getFullnodeUrl('localnet') });

Getting Test Sui

If you want to test transactions on Sui network you need first to get Sui coins in your wallet. To receive test Sui in your wallet you have to make a request to the faucet server.
