Hoppscotch is a free and open-source API development platform that provides a user-friendly interface to test and debug APIs. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Hoppscotch on Debian latest.
Before installing Hoppscotch, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
First, update your Debian system to the latest version to ensure that all packages are up to date.
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Hoppscotch is built with Node.js, so you need to install Node.js on your Debian system. To install the latest version of Node.js, run the following commands:
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt install -y nodejs
This will add the official Node.js repository and install the latest version of Node.js.
Now that you have Node.js installed on your system, you can install Hoppscotch using the npm package manager. To install Hoppscotch, run the following command:
sudo npm install -g hoppscotch
This command will download and install the latest version of Hoppscotch on your system.
Once Hoppscotch is installed, you can start it by running the following command:
hoppscotch
This will start the Hoppscotch server, and you can access it by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:3000.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Hoppscotch on Debian latest. You can now use Hoppscotch to test and debug APIs. If you encounter any issues or have any questions, please feel free to ask the Hoppscotch community.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
