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;
