Installing soapUI on Mac OS
Installing soapUI on Mac OS is pretty straightforward although there are a few things you could do to make things simpler:
- Download the zip
- Extract to a place you prefer, for example the Applications folder
- Go to the soapUI-1.7.6/bin folder
- 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.
- Open a terminal: It is in Applications/Terminal
- In the Terminal window, navigate to the [soapUI installation]/bin folder
- We want to make sure our soapui.sh.command file is executable so we need to chmod it, write "chmod 544 soapui.sh.command"
- Now you can start soapUI simply by double clicking soapui.sh.command
- 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.
