Introduction

For an effective development environment especially back-end, you will require postman to test your endpoints. It has been constantly said that Debian environments are ideal for Software development/engineering processes. Having said this, I will take 3 simple steps to install Postman in Kali Linux.

Requirements

• Internet
• Proficiency with Command utility
• x64 Linux architecture

1.Extract the folder using the following command and a Postman folder will be created:

sudo tar -xvz -f postman-linux-x64.tar.gz

2.Move the folder to the root opt folder

sudo mv Postman /opt/

3.Navigate to this folder /usr/share/applications/ and create a file Postman.desktop and open the nano editor

touch Postman.desktop && nano Postman.desktop

write the following content

[Desktop Entry]

Encoding=UTF-8

Name=Postman

Exec=/opt/Postman/app/Postman %U

Icon=/opt/Postman/app/resources/app/assets/icon.png

Terminal=false

Type=Application

Categories=Development;

You have successfully installed Postman!
