HttPlaceholder is a free and open-source tool that allows you to create HTTP placeholders for testing, mocking and simulating responses from RESTful web services. In this tutorial, we'll be going through the steps to install HttPlaceholder on EndeavourOS Latest.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, you'll need to make sure you have the following:
Step 1: Install .NET Core SDK
HttPlaceholder is built using .NET Core, which means we'll need to install .NET Core SDK first. To do that, run the following command in your terminal:
sudo pacman -S dotnet-sdk
This will install the .NET Core SDK and all the necessary dependencies. Once the installation is complete, you can verify it by running:
dotnet --version
This should show the version of .NET Core SDK installed on your system.
Step 2: Clone HttPlaceholder repository
The next step is to clone the HttPlaceholder repository to your local machine. To do that, run the following command in your terminal:
git clone https://github.com/dukeofharen/httplaceholder.git
This will download the HttPlaceholder repository to your current directory.
Step 3: Build the project
Now that we have the repository cloned, we need to build the project using the following command:
cd httplaceholder/src/HttPlaceholder
dotnet build
This will build the HttPlaceholder project and generate the necessary binaries.
Step 4: Run HttPlaceholder
We're now ready to run HttPlaceholder. To do that, run the following command:
cd bin/Debug/netcoreapp3.1
dotnet HttPlaceholder.dll
This will start HttPlaceholder and it should be available at http://localhost:5000. You can verify this by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:5000.
Step 5: Configuring HttPlaceholder
HttPlaceholder comes with a default configuration file that you can modify to suit your needs. To modify the configuration file, open the appsettings.json file in your favorite text editor and modify the settings as necessary.
Conclusion
That's it! You have successfully installed HttPlaceholder on your EndeavourOS Latest system. HttPlaceholder is a powerful tool that can help you test and simulate RESTful web services.
