Postman

Postman is the platform we’ll use to run our API tests. Unlike all the other apps you can install for this book, Postman is a GUI app. That means to launch the app, you’ll need to find it in your 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 in the following screenshot. 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.
