Typescript postman install in ubuntu/linux

postman-linux-x64.tar.gz

Great! If you have a new version of the Postman application in the form of a postman-linux-x64.tar.gz file, you can follow these steps to install and run it:

  1. Extract the Tarball: Navigate to the directory where the tarball is located and extract its contents:
   tar -xzf postman-linux-x64.tar.gz
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This command will extract the contents of the tarball into a new directory, likely named something like Postman.

  1. Navigate to the Postman Directory: Change into the newly created directory:
   cd Postman
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  1. Run Postman: Inside the Postman directory, you should find the executable file. Run it:
   ./Postman
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

If you encounter any permission issues, you might need to add execute permissions to the Postman executable:

   chmod +x Postman
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Then try running it again.

  1. Optional: Create a Desktop Shortcut: To make it easier to access Postman, you can create a desktop shortcut. You can do this manually or check if the installation provides an option to create a shortcut during the installation process.
   cp Postman.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This command copies a desktop file to the appropriate location for desktop shortcuts.

Now, you should have the Postman application running on your system. If you encounter any issues during the installation or have specific instructions provided with the new version, make sure to follow those instructions for the best results.

If you have any further questions or run into any issues, feel free to let me know!
