Setup Postman Desktop on Ubuntu 17.04

Currently using Postman as Chrome application until I am getting warning in this application:

This error itself is related with Google Chrome Apps deprecation.

Here is how to install the desktop version of Postman:


#!/usr/bash
wget https://dl.pstmn.io/download/latest/linux64 -O postman.tar.gz
sudo tar -xzf postman.tar.gz -C /opt
sudo ln -s /opt/Postman/Postman /usr/bin/postman
#Create a Desktop Entry
cat > ~/.local/share/applications/postman.desktop <<EOL
