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

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

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
