Trying to install postman in Ubuntu 16.04

I was also facing same issue.

Try this link "https://www.getpostman.com/docs/launch" and install its chrome extension and and add it extension on chrome.

Thus Postman will be installed.


For me it's worked, follow this steps

  1. Download postman from [here] https://www.getpostman.com/
  2. sudo rm -R /opt/Postman //remove old version if already exist.
  3. sudo tar -xzf postman_file_path -C /opt
  4. Open DashHome by pressing Super key
  5. Search for the postman, if not found, restart the system and try 4,5 steps

Run this after running your commands:

cat > ~/.local/share/applications/postman.desktop <<EOL
