# Thin client

Dedicated instances of Meterian come with their dedicated client. The client is pre-configured to work against the dedicated instance and can be downloaded from the [admin dashboard](/dedicated-instance/on-premises-op/managing-the-system/admin-dashboard.md) or using the standard public endpoint from the download area (/downloads/meterian-cli.jar), as in the following example.

<pre><code>$ wget https://acme6.meterian.uk/downloads/meterian-cli.jar

<strong>$ java -jar meterian-cli.jar

Should you want to check whether your client is correctly connecting to the dedicated instance prior to launching a scan, execute the client with "--help", which will display the instance and the account it is connecting to.

```
$ java -jar meterian-cli.jar --help

The usage of the dedicated instance client doesn't differ from the public client. For further information on that please refer to the specific documentation section: [Meterian Thin Client](/the-client/client.md).
