Installation and setup

Install on your computer · Instructions checked 2026-10-26

  1. Open the official Resterm installation instructions or GitHub Releases and select the package for your operating system.
  2. On a Mac with Homebrew already installed, the provider documents brew install resterm. Use the provider binary instructions on Windows or Linux.
  3. Create a small .http or .rest file for an API you are permitted to test, then open it in Resterm.
  4. Send a harmless read request first and inspect its status and response before adding variables, credentials or assertions.
  5. Keep secrets outside the versioned request files. Review the provider documentation before enabling mocks, tunnels or CI execution.
