thank you

This works perfect for me - thanks @ariv3ra.

Thx.. worked on ubuntu 17.10

thank you

is recomendable install: sudo apt install libgconf2-4

This worked for me also, after I installed libgconf2-4 as @RuanHerculano suggested. I am on Pop!_OS 17.10, which is System76's distribution based on Ubuntu.

Without the libgconf2-4, I was getting an error: postman: error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Thanks! I hope this helps somebody else.

awesome, worked perfect

Perfect Man

Nice !!

thanks worked nice

That worked so good for me !
Especially the note of @RuanHerculano for installing libgconf 2-4 first

/home/rachit/.local/share/applications/postman.desktop: No such file or directory

This error occured when i ran the cat command. Please help

Nice script. It has these instructions put in a bash script file: postman-how-to-install-on-ubuntu-1604

If you are in Ubuntu 18.04, you must also execute:

sudo apt install libgconf2-4

If you don't do this, when clicking on the app icon, it won't start.

thanks @nicolasmartinezullan

I get bash: ./install.sh: /usr/bash: bad interpreter: No such file or directory. Fixed by changing interpreter to /bin/bash from /usr/bash.

Works perfectly in Unbuntu 18.04. Thanks @ariv3ra

The icon was located in /opt/Postman/app/resources/app/assets/icon.png instead of /opt/Postman/resources/app/assets/icon.png after instaling by using the script on Ubuntu 18.04. Other than that the script works perfectly!

Just perfect ! Thank you :)

@bluuman just edit the first line and change "usr" to "bin"
