Beta Releases

The beta releases of Charles introduce new functionality for testing. Beta releases will generally be announced and documented on my blog.

Download

The latest beta version of Charles is 3.7b1. Please check that this is newer than the latest release version (3.6.5) before downloading.

Ubuntu / Debian packages

I have created an APT repository for Ubuntu / Debian users. This is currently for the beta release only.

First install my gpg public key:

wget -q -O - http://www.charlesproxy.com/packages/apt/PublicKey | sudo apt-key add -

Then add the repository to your sources:

sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list

Add the following line to the end of the file:

deb http://www.charlesproxy.com/packages/apt/ charles-proxy main

Then update your sources and install Charles:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install charles-proxy

You'll end up with a "charles" command in /usr/bin and Charles in your application menus in your window manager (with luck). I've tested this on Ubuntu so I'd love feedback from others on how it works or any improvements I could make.

Windows 32 bit (msi, 7.4 MB)

Windows 64 bit (msi, 7.5 MB)
Requires a 64 bit Java Runtime Environment (NB: choose the Windows x64 platform)

Mac OS X (zip, 7.9 MB)
Universal binary. Compatible with Mac OS X 10.3 - 10.7.

Linux / UNIX (tar.gz, 6.1 MB)

Or use the Charles Proxy APT repository for Debian-based Linux distributions.

New SSL CA Certificate

As of 3.4b Charles uses a new SSL CA Certificate. This improves compatibility with Mac OS X Leopard and should improve future compatibility.

Please download the new SSL CA Certificate bundle and install as per the instructions.
