#### OpenAI-compatible MITM proxy to record and replay API sessions

Mannequin is an OpenAI-compatible MITM proxy for testing AI-enabled
applications. It sits between your application and a real backend model
API, records every request/response exchange to disk, and later replays
those exchanges without calling the real backend, so your tests and demos
run fast, offline, and for free.

mannequin record proxies live traffic to a backend such as
<https://api.openai.com/v1> while saving every exchange; point your
application at <http://127.0.0.1:8080> instead of the real API. Then
mannequin replay serves the recorded responses back with no API key and
no network calls, so test suites, CI pipelines, and demos run
deterministically at zero cost.

## Enable snaps on Manjaro Linux and install Mannequin

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snapd can be installed from Manjaro’s Add/Remove Software application (Pamac), found in the launch menu. From the application, search for *snapd*, select the result, and click Apply.

Alternatively, *snapd* can be installed from the command line:

```
sudo pacman -S snapd
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.

### Install Mannequin

To install Mannequin, simply use the following command:

```
sudo snap install mannequin
```
