#Installing ngrok on OSX

  1. Download ngrok
  2. Unzip it to your Applications directory
  3. Create a symlink (instructions below)

Creating a symlink to ngrok

Run the following two commands in Terminal to create the symlink.

# Change directories to your local bin
cd /usr/local/bin

# create symlink
ln -s /Applications/ngrok ngrok

This will allow you to run the ngrok command from any directory while in the terminal. Without the symlink, you would need to either cd into the Applications directory (or wherever you installed the executable) or reference ngrok with its full path every time (e.g. /Applications/ngrok 5000)
