Postman

We’ll use Postman to run our API tests in this course. Unlike all the other applications we can install for this course, Postman is a GUI application. This means that in order to launch the application, we need to find it in our machine’s application menu. This will be a bit different for each operating system.

The best way to install it is to go to the Postman download page (https://www.getpostman.com/downloads), as shown below. There, you should see a button on the screen that simply says “Download.” This should be the proper release package for your operating system. If not, you’ll find other links on the page to download and install the package you would like to install.
