Answer 1

add line in .zshrc

# vi .zshrc

alias ngrok="/usr/local/lib/node_modules/node/lib/node_modules/node/lib/node_modules/ngrok/bin/ngrok"

Answer 2

Ngrok can be installed with Yarn , then you can run by power Sheel. it's was the only way that worked for me in windows 10 . In the begin you need to install the Node : https://nodejs.org/en/. and the yarn: https://nodejs.org/en/.

Answer 3

Short answer: Put the executable file in /usr/local/bin instead of applications. You should now be able to run commands like ngrok http 80.

Long answer: When you type commands like ngrok in the terminal, Macs (and other Unix OSs) look for these programs in the folders specified in your PATH. The PATH is a list of folders that's specified by each user. To check your path, open the terminal and type: echo $PATH.

You'll see output that looks something like: /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin. This is a : separated list of folders.

So when you type ngrok in the terminal, your Mac will look for this executable in the following folders: /usr/local/bin, /usr/bin/ and /bin.

For installation in Windows : Download and extract to any directory (lets say c drive)

• Then double click on the extracted ngrok.exe file and you'll be able to see the command prompt.

• And just type ngrok http 4040 // here I am exposing [port 4040]

Answer 5
