Is your node fully synced? What happens with cardano-cli -v? ---

I was just getting ready to post a response when this thread popped up in the forum search – I think I’m stuck on the exact same point as you @Dr.Meow. @jeremyisme using cardano-cli -v gives an invalid option. I believe my node is fully synced – I’m on the correct epoch but there is a disparity on slot number between my node and [pooltool.io](http://pooltool.io) display – my slot number is higher than pooltool ---

sorry, try cardano-cli version i.e. just making sure the executable is responding correctly. What version have you installed? 8.9.1? ---

cardano-cli version cardano-cli 8.20.3.0 - linux-x86\_64 - ghc-8.10 git rev da945ea983d4722a9ffe54250edba9a193a57cf0 The current pre release version is 8.10…? Oh, I think the version I had was listed as the latest before – the build wasn’t failing previously. Apologies for hijacking your thread @Dr.Meow ---

yes, 8.20.3.0 is the latest cli version, the version have ot out of sync from the node versions. I’ll douuble check if the command runs as expected for me. I use the Coincashew guide as well, but haven’t updated the KES lately so haven’t run that command on 8.9.1 yet. ---

Thanks for taking the time – I’m prepping the 8.9 config files right now to replace the 8.10 versions. Is there any other process I should do instead of just overwrite them? Er, that is, assuming that ghc-8.10 are the github configuration files ie; alonzo, shelley, etc. I’m guessing that this is where my problem is but I may be way out in left field… ---

Mine is working still the same and correctly. So there hasn’t been a change in 8.9.1 In terms of your slot number, which network are you running on? ---

Maybe, it requires (and allows) to give the socket path as an argument now if `$CARDANO_NODE_SOCKET_PATH` is not set? ---

What happens if you run just: ```auto cardano-cli query tip --mainnnet ``` or ```auto cardano-cli query tip --socket-path SOCKET_PATH --mainnet ``` i.e. try run it without the jq command with it. Also, this post has a similar problem as yours [Mainnet 1.34.1 first sync - cardano-cli query tip --mainnet - #20 by rdlrt](https://forum.cardano.org/t/mainnet-1-34-1-first-sync-cardano-cli-query-tip-mainnet/105754/20) I think the resolution there was that the node wasn’t actually running, hence no socket file. Can you confirm the cardano-node status? `sudo systemctl status cardano-node` [Next page](https://forum.cardano.org/t/setting-bp-missing-socket-path/130321.md?page=2)
