Keploy Platform-Specific Requirements
🛠️ Platform-Specific Requirements for Keploy
Below is a table summarizing the tools needed for both native and Docker installations of Keploy on macOS, Windows, and Linux:
| Operating System | Without Docker | Docker Installation | Prerequisites |
|---|---|---|---|
 macOS |  Native (Go, Node, Python, Java) | Guide | - Docker Desktop version must be 4.25.2 or above - Ensure that Lima is installed on your machine if you prefer to try without Docker. |
 Windows | Native, x86‑64 (Go, Node, Python, Java) | Guide | - Use WSL wsl --install - Windows 10 version 2004 and higher (Build 19041 and higher) or Windows 11 - Ensure that Docker Desktop version 4.25.2 or above is installed if you are following the Docker installation guide |
 Linux | | | Linux kernel 5.15 or higher |
Keploy runs natively on macOS and Windows (x86‑64) — neither has eBPF, so it intercepts traffic in userspace on both, and neither needs sudo or Administrator. Docker, Lima (macOS) and WSL (Windows) remain supported alternatives, and are still the route on Windows/ARM.
