# Installing CLI & Creating A New Address

### Download <a href="#setup-the-executable" id="setup-the-executable"></a>

Get the latest release of secretcli for your OS [HERE](https://github.com/scrtlabs/SecretNetwork/releases).

### Install <a href="#setup-the-executable" id="setup-the-executable"></a>

* Mac/Windows: Rename it from `secretcli-${VERSION}-${OS}` to `secretcli` or `secretcli.exe` and put it in your path
* Ubuntu/Debian: `sudo dpkg -i secret*.deb`

### Setup the executable <a href="#setup-the-executable" id="setup-the-executable"></a>

Linux and MacOS users:

```bash
chmod +x secretcli
```

### Configure <a href="#setup-the-executable" id="setup-the-executable"></a>

```bash
secretcli config set client chain-id pulsar-3
secretcli config set client output json
secretcli config set client node https://rpc.pulsar.scrttestnet.com
```

You can find alternate node endpoints in the [API registry](/secret-network-documentation/development/resources-api-contract-addresses/connecting-to-the-network.md), or run your own [full node](/secret-network-documentation/infrastructure/running-a-node-validator/setting-up-a-node-validator/testnet/run-a-full-node.md)
