How to install SoapUI in RHEL6 RHEL7 CentOS6 CentOS7

SoapUI is awesome and powerful tool to test and run web services. If you are going to work with soap web services, you better install soapui before start works. Also SoapUI tool is very easy to use. What I am trying here is to install SoapUI in my Linux environment.

For now there is no way to install SoapUI using yum command in Redhat products.

But you can install SoapUI in your Linux machine using other ways.

I have successfully installed SoapUI in two different ways

•  Install soapui.exe using wine in Linux environment (not recommend -).

·         Actually this is an amazing way to install exe files in Linux machines. You just need to install wine software in Linux machine using “yum install wine” command. It will create windows similar environment in your Linux machine. Now you can install most of the windows related .exe files without any problems. What you need to do is right click on the exe file and select “install using wine”. There are pros and cons in using wine but it is awesome tool. I also successfully installed adobe Photoshop in my Linux machine using wine.

•  Install using Linux binary zip file.

·         Go to http://www.soapui.org and select file to download as below image,

  Click on “linux tarball (Java not included)” and download the tar file.

·         After downloading the file, replace it in proper place.

·         The redirect to the bin file using command prompt

#cd /<soapuiHOME>/bin

·         Run below command and you will get the tool interface,

#./soapui.sh

·         Now you are ready to use soapui,
