Hoppscotch is an open-source API Development and Testing tool which provides a user-friendly interface for API Testing and Documentation. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Hoppscotch on Fedora Server Latest.
Before starting with the installation, follow the below prerequisites:
Update your system using the following command:
sudo dnf update
Hoppscotch requires Node.js to run, so we need to install it first. We will install the latest LTS version of Node.js, which at the time of writing is version 14.x.
Run the following command to add the Node.js repository:
sudo dnf install -y curl dnf-plugins-core
sudo curl -sL https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_lts.x | sudo bash -
Now, install Node.js using the following command:
sudo dnf install -y nodejs
Verify that Node.js has been installed successfully by running the following command:
node --version
The output should be something like this:
v14.16.1
We will use npm to install Hoppscotch globally, so it can be accessed from any directory.
Run the following command to install Hoppscotch:
sudo npm install -g hoppscotch
Hoppscotch is now installed on your system. You can now start it by running the following command:
hoppscotch
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000 to access the Hoppscotch interface.
You can now use Hoppscotch for API development and testing.
With the above steps, you have successfully installed Hoppscotch on your Fedora Server Latest. You can now use it to test and develop APIs.
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!
