Setting up GraphQL Playground
You have many options for setting up GraphQL Playground. You may set the GraphQL Playground up to use as a desktop application, use it as a module like a react component to a front-end project or a middleware server to a back-end project, or you may use it online by using any of its online demos.
There are several options to set the GraphQL Playground up to use as a desktop application, depending on your preferences and operating system. For Linux, you can install a snap or deb package from the GitHub release page of the project and run it to set the GraphQL Playground up as a desktop application. For Windows, you can install the exe package and run it. There are options for MacOS as well.
For MacOS, you can use brew to install by a command line on the terminal and set the GraphQL Playground up as a desktop application by running this command
brew install --cask graphql-playground
