## Verify the pxc_scheduler_handler installation

If you have installed [ProxySQL 2.3.2-2.1](release-notes-2.3.2-1.md) or later, verify the Percona_Scheduler_Admin installation with the following command:

```{.bash data-prompt="$"}
$ percona-scheduler-admin --debug
```

Running this command without the [pxc_scheduler_handler configuration file](psh-configuration.md) generates an error.

??? example "Error message"

    ```{.text .no-copy}
    ERROR : The --config-file option is required but is missing from the command.
    ```
