2. Open the terminal and go to the directory where you have downloaded the tar file. If you have downloaded on the Downloads folder
cd ~/Downloads/
3. Run the following commands,
sudo rm -rf /opt/Postman/
Extract the compressed file with the command below or use gui option
sudo tar xvf Postman-<your version>.tar.gz -C /opt/
sudo ln -sf /opt/Postman/app/Postman /usr/bin/postman
4. create a file for the desktop entry so you can easily search the Postman app like any other app in your computer.
nano ~/.local/share/applications/postman.desktop
5. Write the following in the file.
[Desktop Entry]
