# Connecting to a public network with local RPC node

Except from connecting to local development network, we can also run a local RPC node connecting to public networks.

```
npx @acala-network/eth-rpc-adapter@latest \
  --endpoint <node-endpoint-ws-url> \
  --subql <subquery-url>
```

Node endpoints and subquery urls can be found in [network configuration](https://evmdocs.acala.network/network/network-configuration).

For example to connect to acala mainnet:

```
npx @acala-network/eth-rpc-adapter@latest \
  --endpoint wss://acala-rpc.aca-api.network \
  --subql https://subql-query-acala.aca-api.network
```

Also checkout the help command for more details

```
npx @acala-network/eth-rpc-adapter@latest --help
```
