Running Keploy Natively on MacOS by setting up a linux env

Downloading and running Keploy in Native using Debian on MacOS

1. Open the terminal Session.

2. Run the following command. This installs homebrew and makes it easier to manage software and packages on macOS

   /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

3. Now, with the help of homebrew, we would install Lima (Linux Virtual Machine) by running this command.

   brew install lima

4. Create a Debian instance.

   limactl create template://debian-12

5. Start the instance

   limactl start debian-12

6. Enter the shell of the running linux instance

   limactl shell debian-12

7. Now you are in the linux shell of the debian instance. Replace {Username} with your actual macOS username in the following command. This will take you directly to your macOS home directory. (You might need to allow access to Terminal.app in a popup)

   cd /Users/{Username}

8. Run the following command to install Keploy

   curl --silent --location "https://github.com/keploy/keploy/releases/latest/download/keploy_linux_arm64.tar.gz" | tar xz --overwrite -C /tmp
   sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin && sudo mv /tmp/keploy /usr/local/bin/keploy

Congratulations! You've successfully set up Keploy natively on MacOS.
