Solution

  • If you have postman installed via snap:

    snap remove postman
    

    Then follow the instructions on this link: https://gist.github.com/prrao87/114933c4638a4f77aa3d4b2c5a3b2477

    Goal

    snap. On recent distributions of Linux Mint (20 and above), snap installs are no longer possible. The instructions below show how to install Postman via the terminal.

    Download Postman

    $ wget https://dl.pstmn.io/download/latest/linux64 -O postman.tar.gz

    Extract archive

    $ sudo tar -xzf postman.tar.gz -C /opt

    Make symlink

    $ sudo ln -s /opt/Postman/Postman /usr/bin/postman

    Optional: Remove downloaded file

    $ rm postman.tar.gz

    Make Desktop icon

    $ sudo vim /usr/share/applications/postman.desktop

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