Error installing swagger locally

Hi arjunrajas005,

Could you describe the steps you took to get to where you are now? That would help us determine how to get you the expected results. 

Otherwise, here is a set of steps I wrote up the other day to download, install, and run the Swagger editor & UI locally:

Here’s how you can download and run the Swagger Editor locally. It’s not as simple as downloading a .exe file and running it, you’ll need to download it using git, compile it using Node/npm, and run it using npm again.

First you’ll need to make sure you have these installed on your machine:

1. - Git
2. - Node.js
3. - Npm (Node Package Manager)

Node.js and npm can be downloaded here: https://nodejs.org/en/download/

Next, you’ll want to run these commands from your terminal/command prompt (be sure you run them in the folder where you want to run the Swagger Editor from as it will download all the files from GitHub):

git clone https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-editor.git

cd swagger-editor

npm install

npm run build

npm start

You’ll know it’s ready to be used when you see a message like this:

Starting up http-server, serving ./

Available on:

http://127.0.0.1:3001

Once you see this message, simply put the 127.0.0.1:XYZ address into your browser and you should see the editor.

There is also a way to run the editor locally using a docker image. You can find the instructions to do that here: https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-editor

Let us know if you have any more questions,

Alex
