Install the CLI

Install the CLI when you want to run a simulation on your own machine: from a share link, from a downloaded .mockz file, or straight from an OpenAPI spec. It is the open source Mockzilla server, MIT licensed. It runs offline and needs no account.

Install with Homebrew

On macOS and Linux:

brew tap mockzilla/tap
brew install mockzilla

Download a binary

Every release ships prebuilt binaries for macOS, Linux and Windows. Get the latest from the releases page, rename the file to mockzilla, make it executable and put it on your PATH.

There are more ways to install, including Windows (Scoop) and Ubuntu or Debian (apt).

See the installation page for complete examples.

Check it works

mockzilla --version

To see it serve something, point it at any OpenAPI spec, by URL or file path:

mockzilla https://petstore3.swagger.io/api/v3/openapi.json

Your mock is now running on port 2200.
