Postman Installation: A Comprehensive Guide

What is Postman? Postman is an API platform for building and using APIs. Postman simplifies each step of the API lifecycle and streamlines collaboration so you can create better APIs—faster.

Guidance on How to Use:

Prerequisite:

Ensure that your system has the necessary permissions to execute commands.

  1. Update the package list using the following command: 
    sudo apt update

Let's install Postman:

  1. Download the Postman binary file from the official website.
  2. Move the downloaded file to the desired installation directory, for example: 
    sudo mv ~/Downloads/Postman-linux-x64-.tar.gz /opt/Postman
  3. Extract the tar.gz file: 
    sudo tar -xzf /opt/Postman/Postman-linux-x64-.tar.gz -C /opt/Postman
  4. Create a symbolic link to easily run Postman from the terminal: 
    sudo ln -s /opt/Postman/Postman /usr/bin/postman
  5. Create a desktop shortcut for Postman: 
    sudo nano /usr/share/applications/postman.desktop
    Add the following content to the file: 
                    [Desktop Entry]
                Encoding=UTF-8
                Name=Postman
                Exec=postman
                Icon=/opt/Postman/app/resources/app/assets/icon.png
                Terminal=false
                Type=Application
                Categories=Development;
    Save the file and exit.

Verification:

Open a terminal and run the following command to start Postman and check if the GUI is visible: 

postman
The terminal will keep a log of each step performed by Postman.

Additionally, you can open Postman by typing "postman" in the terminal.
