Installing Postman on Ubuntu/Debian

Installing Postman

Step 1

If any version of postman is installed we need to remove it

sudo rm -rf /opt/Postman

Step 2

This will install postman to /tmp directory and move it to /opt/ directory.

tar -C /tmp/ -xzf <(curl -L https://dl.pstmn.io/download/latest/linux64) && sudo mv /tmp/Postman /opt/

Step 3

Create a desktop file

sudo tee -a /usr/share/applications/postman.desktop << END

In ChromeOS, I had to install this package to make the requests work as well: sudo apt install libsecret-1-dev

I was looking for this solution because I was having trouble with KIO worker during sign in, and this solution worked great! Thank you!
