Scrutiny is a web-based tool available on GitHub that allows you to monitor and manage your internet connections efficiently. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Scrutiny on macOS using GitHub.
Before installing Scrutiny on your macOS device, you must have the following:
Open the Terminal application in macOS. You can do this by pressing Command + Spacebar and typing "Terminal" in Spotlight.
Install Homebrew on your system if you haven't installed it yet. Enter the following command in your Terminal window:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
Wait until the installation completes. This may take a few minutes.
Once Homebrew is installed, run the following command to update it:
brew update
Install Docker on your system by running the following command:
brew install docker
Download Scrutiny from their GitHub repository. You can do this by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/AnalogJ/scrutiny.git
This will create a new folder named "scrutiny" in your current directory.
Navigate to the "scrutiny" folder you just created by running the following command:
cd scrutiny
Run Scrutiny using Docker by entering the following command:
docker-compose up -d
This command may take several minutes to complete.
After the Docker container has been launched successfully, visit http://localhost:8088 in your web browser to access the Scrutiny user interface.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Scrutiny on your macOS device using GitHub. With Scrutiny, you can now monitor and manage your internet connections with ease.
