Installing soapUI on Linux

Installing soapUI on Mac OS is pretty straightforward although there are a few things you could do to make things simpler:

  1. Download the zip
  2. Extract to a place you prefer, for example the Applications folder
  3. Go to the soapUI-1.7.6/bin folder
  4. There is a file called soapui.sh there, rename it to soapui.sh.command. The Mac will warn, since renaming the file will make the file runnable, but don't worry; that is exactly what we want.
  5. Open a terminal: It is in Applications/Terminal
  6. In the Terminal window, navigate to the [soapUI installation]/bin folder
  7. We want to make sure our soapui.sh.command file is executable so we need to chmod it, write "chmod 544 soapui.sh.command"
  8. Now you can start soapUI simply by double clicking soapui.sh.command
  9. You can even drag it to the dock for Quick Start

Please note the following:

You need Java 1.6 to run soapUI on the Mac.
