The new postman native app for linux is great! On Ubuntu though, it doesn't create any symbolic links to your app — I link to launch all my apps via Synapse, the simple but powerful application launcher. Follow these short steps to launch your Postman instance via Synapse/any other application launcher:
- Copy the app directory to a folder of your choice
- Download the image from here and place it in the same folder.
- Create a *.desktop file in /home/username/.local/share/applications/postman.desktop
- Copy paste the contents:
