How to install/start Postman native v4.10.3 on Ubu

问题:

I downloaded Postman for Linux (from https://www.getpostman.com/apps), unpacked .tar.gz file into ~/bin/postman and then tried to execute ~/bin/postman/Postman/Postman. Unfortunately it resulted with following error:

A JavaScript error occurred in the main process
Uncaught Exception:
Error: Cannot find module 'glob'

    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (/home/imilosavljevic/bin/postman/Postman/resources/electron.asar/common/reset-search-paths.js:35:12)

Is there any other way of installing/starting Postman on Ubuntu?

回答1:

Yes, you can install Postman using these commands:

wget https://dl.pstmn.io/download/latest/linux64 -O postman.tar.gz
sudo tar -xzf postman.tar.gz -C /opt
rm postman.tar.gz
sudo ln -s /opt/Postman/Postman /usr/bin/postman

You can also get Postman to show up in the Unity Launcher:

cat > ~/.local/share/applications/postman.desktop <<EOL
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Postman
Exec=postman
Icon=/opt/Postman/app/resources/app/assets/icon.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Development;
EOL

You don't need node.js or any other dependencies with a standard Ubuntu dev install.

See more at our blog post at https://blog.bluematador.com/posts/postman-how-to-install-on-ubuntu-1604/.

EDIT: Changed icon.png location. Latest versions of Postman changed their directory structure slightly.

First create this script:

install-postman.sh

#!/bin/bash
cd /tmp || exit
echo "Downloading Postman ..."
wget -q https://dl.pstmn.io/download/latest/linux?arch=64 -O postman.tar.gz
tar -xzf postman.tar.gz
rm postman.tar.gz

echo "Installing to opt..."
if [ -d "/opt/Postman" ];then
    sudo rm -rf /opt/Postman
fi
sudo mv Postman /opt/Postman

echo "Creating symbolic link..."
if [ -L "/usr/bin/postman" ];then
    sudo rm -f /usr/bin/postman
fi
sudo ln -s /opt/Postman/Postman /usr/bin/postman

echo "Installation completed successfully."
echo "You can use Postman!"

run it in terminal with:

$ sh install-postman.sh

Then create the desktop launcher:

Postman.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Postman
Exec=postman
Icon=/opt/Postman/resources/app/assets/icon.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Development;

Put this file in your desktop if you want (don't forget give to it execution permissions). Double click, and that's it!

回答3:

sudo snap install postman

This single command worked for me.

回答4:

Yes, there is awesome simple bash script I found, which allows you to update the Postman Linux app, straight from the terminal, called postman-updater-linux.

Just install it using NPM:

npm install -g postman-updater-linux

Then check for updates:

sudo postman-updater check

Then install:

sudo postman-updater install

Or update:

sudo postman-updater update

All three last commands can be used with custom location by adding -l /your/custom/path to end of this command.

回答5:

Don't forget to add sudo otherwise you will get postman.tar.gz: Permission denied error. And unlink postman if you get error like failed to create symbolic link /usr/bin/postman: File exists. So below is the full code:

sudo wget https://dl.pstmn.io/download/latest/linux64 -O postman.tar.gz
sudo tar -xzf postman.tar.gz -C /opt
sudo rm postman.tar.gz

sudo unlink /usr/bin/postman
sudo ln -s /opt/Postman/Postman /usr/bin/postman

Then just run postman in the terminal.

回答6:

don't forget to

chmod ~/.local/share/applications/postman.desktop +x

otherwise it won't show in the Unity Launcher

回答7:

To do the same I did following in terminal-

$ wget https://dl.pstmn.io/download/latest/linux64 -O postman.tar.gz
$ sudo tar -xzf postman.tar.gz -C /opt
$ rm postman.tar.gz
$ sudo ln -s /opt/Postman/Postman /usr/bin/postman

1. Now open file system, move to /usr/bin/ and search form "Postman"
2. There was a sh file with name 'Postman'
3. Double clicked on it which opened postman.
4. Locked icon to launcher on right clicking its icon for further use.

Hope will hell others too.

回答8:

open terminal and type command

sudo snap install postman

hit enter button if it asks for password enter and proceed it will install postman

If above solution doesn't work for you then you should install snap first to install it

sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd

when snap is installed successfully then u can use its packages and follow my solution for postman

回答9:

also you need install nodejs:

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
