ngrok command not found

Question

I\'m trying to install ngrok (which I\'ve been using for a while on Windows with no issues) on my 1 week old yosemite and these are the steps I\'ve followed so

Answer 1

In shorts,ngrok should be in same directory in which you are running ngrok command.

Answer 2

This is how I got it to work..

For Mac

1. If you downloaded via a download link, you need to add ngrok path to your .bash_profile or .bashrc whichever one you are using.

For Windows 10 bash:

1. Download ngrok from https://bin.equinox.io/c/4VmDzA7iaHb/ngrok-stable-windows-amd64.zip
2. Move executable file ngrok.exe to C:\Windows\system32\ngrok.exe
3. Add Environment Variables via UI (search for "Edit the environment variables for your account" in the search bar next to windows logo => double click on Path under Users Variables for yourusername => Click New => add your path C:\Windows\system32\ngrok.exe => click OK.
4. Restart your bash and you should be able to run "ngrok http 80" command.

Answer 3

I had followed the instructions as per the ngrok download instructions:

So the file downloaded to ~/Downloads

But I still needed to move ngrok into my binaries folder, like so:

mv ~/Downloads/ngrok /usr/local/bin

Then running ngrok in terminal works

Answer 4

I have also faced this issue on my MacOS, I used these simple steps and it worked for me.

Just open the terminal and go to your project folder where you what to start ngrok and then unzip downloaded file.

$ unzip /path/to/ngrok.zip

After doing this you don't need to authenticate ngrok, just run this command:

./ngrok  http 80

It should work now.

Answer 5

On Windows ngrok.cmd works well from Git Bash, not ngrok

Answer 6

• Download the zip file.
• Unzip it.
• Open The terminal in the current location (inside unzip folder) where you unzip the file.

• Execute the following command into the terminal :

  sudo cp ngrok /usr/local/bin          
  

  Now your ngrok execuatable file is successfully copied to the /usr/local/bin directory. Now you are able to run the ngrok command in the terminal
