How to Install Postman on Ubuntu?

Postman may be installed in a variety of methods on Ubuntu. Let’s take a look at each one individually.

• Using Snapcraft
• Using Flathub

Let’s go through all the installation methods one by one.

Method 1: Using Snapcraft

Step 1: We may get Postman from the snapcraft shop using the snapd tool, but first we must ensure that the snapd program is installed on Ubuntu; if it is not, run the command below to install it:

sudo apt install snapd

Step 2: Then, using the snap package manager, download and install Postman:

sudo snap install postman

Method 2: Using Flathub

Step 1: Flathub, like snapcraft, is a Linux application store, therefore we can use the flatpak program to download and install postman from there. We’ll use the apt package manager to install the flatpak utility:

sudo apt install flatpak

Step 2: Using the flatpak program, download and install the postman package from flathub:

 flatpak install flathub com.getpostman.Postman

Step 3: To  launch Postman, navigate to the Application menu’s search field, type “postman,” and then click on the Postman application icon:

Now we successfully install Postman on our Ubuntu Operating System.
