Introduction

I'm not affiliated with regex101.com, so I will not provide a regex101's package but this script will help you to create your own. It requires wget and to create a http-server.

Wget

Wget is available on OSX via brew (brew install wget), on Linux (sudo apt-get install wget) and Windows.

Wget's major strong side compared to curl is its ability to download recursively - (see this topic).

Http server

Python comes preinstalled on most Linux distributions and OSX, and it's very easy to create a http server with :

python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080

Otherwise, here is a big list of http static server and how to use them.

For windows, answers of this question on stackoverflow will help you.

Scripts

If you only want to save regex101 you just have to paste these lines :

wget -r --no-host-directories --no-parent https://regex101.com;
wget --output-document ./pcreWorker.js https://regex101.com/pcreWorker.js;
wget --output-document ./pcrelib.js https://regex101.com/pcrelib.js;

You can find a script here : runLocalRegex101.sh (thanks for you help @CodeMan99) to run your regex101 instance easily :

wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ibaaj/Regex101.com-offline-app/master/runLocalRegex101.sh | bash
