  1. Verify your installation
curl -i -X GET --url http://localhost:7001/services
curl -i -X GET --url http://localhost:7001/endpoints
  1. Verify that Kong Manager (GUI) is running by accesing the following URL in a browser:
http://localhost:7002

Most probably you won't be able to use the GUI since you need to have a license for that, nonetheless you are ready to get one if you so desire, every is ready.
