How to install/start Postman native v4.10.3 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit?

Question

I downloaded Postman for Linux (from https://www.getpostman.com/apps), unpacked .tar.gz file into ~/bin/postman and then tried to execute ~/bin/postman/Postma

Don't forget to add sudo otherwise you will get postman.tar.gz: Permission denied error. And unlink postman if you get error like failed to create symbolic link /usr/bin/postman: File exists. So below is the full code:

sudo wget https://dl.pstmn.io/download/latest/linux64 -O postman.tar.gz
sudo tar -xzf postman.tar.gz -C /opt
sudo rm postman.tar.gz

sudo unlink /usr/bin/postman
sudo ln -s /opt/Postman/Postman /usr/bin/postman

Then just run postman in the terminal.
