It's not really that important we understand everything that's going on here.
Install postman software#
Now we want to remove that compressed version because we only care about the software itself so that's what this rm command does, so we're going to remove that.Īnd lastly, we are going to create a symlink right here.
Install postman install#
So let's switch back paste that in, and it's going to ask us for our password and then it's going to go and unpack that and install it on the system. So now we are going to unpack it, so that's what we do when we run this sudo tar -xzf -C /opt command, it'll give us the raw data here and it's compressed so now we need to actually pack it with the command. So I'm going to run this and it's going to go out and it's going to get that Postman application and I'm going to let the video fast forward while that is occurring. So we're going to end up copying each one of these will copy them one at a time so we can make sure that they all succeed, And I'm going to paste this in.Īnd remember in order to paste in Linux it's control + shift + N + V. So the very first thing that I'm going to do is copy this first line. So with all that means that I will include a link to this BlueMatador post in your show notes and that is going to give you the set of commands you need in order to install this. When I'm building out a flask API application, or a react application, or a Rails application I can use Postman for all of them because all it does is it all only cares about is the data request and so that's why it's really helpful and it's a tool I use pretty much on a daily basis because I do a lot of API development.
This is a very helpful way that you can build out applications, and pass data back and forth then no matter what type of course that you're going through you can use Postman since it's not specific to a programming language or a framework or anything like that. So an API is a service kind of like a website or server that you can communicate with, but instead of getting a web page back, you get data back. Now if you've never heard of Postman, what it is is a very helpful application that allows you to communicate with outside APIs.

So right here I have a link to BlueMatador (link below) that has this very helpful guide on how to install Postman on your Linux machine. The commands that we're going to walk through today are specifically targeted to working with a Linux virtual box type of environment. If you're going through this and you're not following along on Linux, you can also do the exact same thing on Mac or Windows. Now if all of these concepts are new to you do not worry all this is really going to focus on is configuring your environment.
