I have installed Postman on my Ubuntu through snap, but every time I open it I get a warning message that ask me to update Postman:

In the setting there isn't any "Update" option (unlike the Windows version of Postman), so how am I suppose to update it? Hope someone can help me.

It will update automatically, eventually.

Postman's snap channel is a little delayed compared to the regular version, but it is maintained. Just wait.

If you want to force check for updates, run snap refresh postman. All snaps are refreshed daily by default, so IMO there's no point in doing this manually.

I just resolved it uninstalling the snap version and downloading the native app from the Postman website.

Run the following commands:

  1. cd ~/Downloads/
  2. nano ~/.local/share/applications/postman.desktop
  3. [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=Postman Exec=/usr/bin/postman Icon=/opt/Postman/app/resources/app/assets/icon.png Terminal=false freeaccount Type=Application Categories=Development

Save the file from the with Ctrl+X then Y then Enter.

    Can you please try to [edit] and fix your formatting? Use the preview below to check how your post looks like. Also, this seems like it's just about creating a shortcut to Postman. This has nothing to do with updates. – slhck Apr 01 '19 at 11:47
