#How to run RESTClient
Requirements
- JVM 1.6 or above for RESTClient 2.3
Running
In Windows, just click (or double-click--as per your configuration) the Jar file.
In Linux or UNIX based systems, execute thus:
$ java -jar restclient-ui-NN-jar-with-dependencies.jar
Substitute NN with the version number.
Hi,
Any chance of supporting a WebStart? version as well? That could help in keeping things up to date.
Appreciating your work, Ophir
That was also in my agenda. But was not able to pick up the necessary skillset for implementing this feature. Adding an issue:

When I double click the JAr file in Windows it is just showing the Contents of the Jar File. its not an Exe that can be executed on Windows. Please help how to install RESTClient on Windows.
In the Windows command prompt u may give this command:
java -jar restclient-ui-NN-jar-with-dependencies.jar
Else (I am using Windows 7), right click on the Jar file, select 'Open with', and choose 'Java Platform..'
Note that you need to have Java installed.
hi, when i double click on it, i got the below error message
"could not find the main class. program will exit"
Please verify if u r using Java 6, and if u have downloaded the correct version (the UI version).
How can I run a a service request multiple times?
RESTClient does not have direct support for multiple-requests. But it can be easily scripted using the RESTClient Cli tool.
I have java version "1.6.0_26" installed on windows 7 64 bit but for some reason double clicking client does not bring up the UI. I tried command like but it gives error as follow:
C:\Users\anair\Desktop>java -jar restclient-cli-2.3.3-jar-with-dependencies.jar You must set argument output Usage: org.wiztools.restclient.cli.CliMain?$CliCommand?
Any help to resolve this will be appreciated
You are using the command-line download. Download the GUI version.
Ahh did not paid attention to the downloaded jar, GUI versions works well. Thanks Subwiz!
Hi, I am a newbie for this. I would like to use RESTClient cli tool, but I had difficulty to make it work. Would you please give more detail example for get and post action? BTW, this is really great tool and GUI version works fine for me. thank you very much!
If GUI working for you then make request(GET or POST) using GUI RESTClient then use save that request as sample.rcq file (File > Save Request) then enter the following command
java -jar restclient-cli.jar -o output_dir sample.rcq
output_dir -- is the directory in which sample.rcs (Response) will be saved
How do I download the GUI version. Help much appreciated
