I have downloaded the solace semp v2 spec file from [www.solace.com](http://www.solace.com). I would like to host the UI on my Linux server using this spec file. How can I achieve this? Please let me know what needs to be done and what I need to accomplish this? ---

Hi @Adams, SEMPv2 is the RESTful management API for the PubSub+ Event Broker and doesn’t offer a GUI of it’s own. It is available with a broker install so you can install a broker locally (such as using [docker](https://solace.com/products/event-broker/software/getting-started/)) if you want the service impl available locally. And if you want a GUI tool that you can use to create/run your SEMP queries I usually recommend using Postman. They should have a linux installer and then you can [import the SEMPv2 OpenAPI document into postman](https://learning.postman.com/docs/integrations/available-integrations/working-with-openAPI/) and it will generate you a collection to start with. This page shows how to do that. Hope that helps! ---

Do you mean this Swagger UI? [SEMP API Reference](https://docs.solace.com/API-Developer-Online-Ref-Documentation/swagger-ui/config/index.html) I think it was generated with [REST API Documentation Tool | Swagger UI](https://swagger.io/tools/swagger-ui/) ? ---
