While googling for a guide to install soapUI in Ubuntu I found nothing useful. Could it be that installing soapUI in Ubuntu is too easy to describe? It turns out to be really easy, but just for the sake of other people googling this short guide.
soapUI is the leading tool for Web Service Testing. With more than 950 000 downloads, it’s the most used tool for SOA testing in the world.
Start by browsing to the sourceforge site of soapUI. Download the file with extension ‘.sh’.
Download Linux installation file
Open the properties of the downloaded file and select ‘allow executing file as program’ in tab ‘Permissions’.
File properties
Double-click the file to run the set-up. Select “Run”.
Run set-up
From now on it’s just a regular installation-wizard.
soapUI is now installed and ready to use.
soapUI running
Let’s try if invoking a web service works. Create a new soapUI project, be sure to select “Create sample requests for all operations”.
New project
Generated project
Enter ‘GOOG’ as stock symbol and press the green ‘play button’.
Web service request
Web service response

No it didnt work for me. I tried to run it but it does not show any installer GUI when i run it.
I just tested the latest SoapUI in Ubuntu 10.10 and I get the installer GUI.
Did you execute this step:
Open the properties of the downloaded file and select ‘allow executing file as program’ in tab ‘Permissions’?
After that just double click on the icon and choose ‘run‘.
