Is there a standalone version of soapUI for Linux?

Solution 1:

Download the zip file. Then you just unzip the files into a directory somewhere. There is a sh file - you just need to make it executable and run that - from memory.

unzip soapui-*.zip
cd soapui-4.5.0-Beta1/bin/
chmod +x soapui.sh
./soapui.sh

Solution 2:

Supposing that you don't have a GUI in your installation you can try from the command line simply using wget to download Linux tarball:

$ wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/downloads.eviware/soapuios/5.4.0/SoapUI-5.4.0-linux-bin.tar.gz

Then ungzip and untar the download archive:

$ gunzip SoapUI-5.4.0-linux-bin.tar.gz
$ tar xvf SoapUI-5.4.0-linux-bin.tar

Now instead of start the UI of SOAPUI using SOAPUI_HOME/bin/soapui.sh you can use SOAPUI/bin/testrunner.sh to run your projects without the UI.

Solution 3:

Unfortunately, there is no repository to be added to the sources, so SOAPUI cannot be installed through apt-get or Ubuntu package management. Some description is on https://www.soapui.org/getting-started/installing-soapui/installing-on-linux-or-unix.html . Resolution given by Trent is only option, but in reality, currently, you should download just .sh file (Linux installer) from https://www.soapui.org/downloads/latest-release.html which has approx. 130+MB and try following commands for 64bit:

$ sudo chmod +x SoapUI-x64-5.4.0.sh
$ ./SoapUI-x64-5.4.0.sh

or 32 bit:

$ sudo chmod +x SoapUI-x32-5.4.0.sh
$ ./SoapUI-x32-5.4.0.sh

(* scripts updated to version 5.4.0

Replace the name of the file according to the downloaded version of the SOAP UI. Enjoy your testing!
