Keploy Installation
Keploy uses eBPF to intercept API calls on network layer and generates test cases and mocks/stubs.
🛠️ 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 |
---|---|---|---|
![]() | Docker Desktop version must be 4.25.2 or above | ||
- Use WSL wsl --install - Windows 10 version 2004 and higher (Build 19041 and higher) or Windows 11 | |||
![]() | Linux kernel 5.15 or higher |
On MacOS and Windows, additional tools are required for Keploy due to the lack of native eBPF support.

Other Installation Methods
Downloading and running Keploy in Docker
On macOS
-
Open up a terminal window.
-
Create a bridge network in Docker using the following docker network create command:
docker network create keploy-network
- Run the following command to start the Keploy container:
alias keploy="docker run --name keploy-v2 -p 16789:16789 --network keploy-network --privileged --pid=host -v $(pwd):$(pwd) -w $(pwd) -v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup -v /sys/kernel/debug:/sys/kernel/debug -v /sys/fs/bpf:/sys/fs/bpf -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock --rm ghcr.io/keploy/keploy"
Downloading and running Keploy in Native
Prequisites:
- Linux Kernel version 5.15 or higher
- Run
uname -a
to verify the system architecture. - In case of Windows, use WSL with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS or higher.
On WSL/Linux AMD
- Open the terminal Session.
- Run the following command to download and install Keploy:
curl --silent --location "https://github.com/keploy/keploy/releases/latest/download/keploy_linux_amd64.tar.gz" | tar xz --overwrite -C /tmp
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin && sudo mv /tmp/keploy /usr/local/bin/keploy
On WSL/Linux ARM
- Open the terminal Session
- Run the following command to download and 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
Note: Keploy is not supported on MacOS natively.
With Arkade
- Installing Arkade
# Note: you can also run without `sudo` and move the binary yourself
curl -sLS https://get.arkade.dev | sudo sh
arkade --help
ark --help # a handy alias
# Windows users with Git Bash
curl -sLS https://get.arkade.dev | sh
- Install Keploy
arkade get keploy
Or you can also download specific version of Keploy using the following command:
arkade get keploy@2.2.0-alpha23
🎬 Capturing Testcases
To initiate the recording of API calls, execute this command in your terminal:
keploy record -c "CMD_TO_RUN_APP"
For example, if you're using a simple Golang program, the CMD_TO_RUN_APP would resemble:
keploy record -c "go run main.go"
🏃 Running Testcases
To run the testcases and see if there are any regressions introduced, use this terminal command:
keploy test -c "CMD_TO_RUN_APP" --delay 10
