Is there another way to install postman desktop?

I am having trouble installing the postman desktop app. It will not let me install the desktop app or postman agent, it just says error while installing.

The error log goes as follows:

Hey @nneka-oguh1 :waving_hand:

Welcome to the Postman Community! :postman:

As this problem was raised over 2 years ago, I don’t know the full context and I’m unable to provide any help on there one.

If you’re having an issue installing Postman’s latest version, I can try and help with that if you can share all the details. :folded_hands:

Postman can be downloaded directly from our Downloads page on the website:

We also have an official download channel on Snapcraft for Linux distros

If you’re using vscode, you can also download our extension from here:

hello,

the site you provided still gives me the same response. i have tried the canary version, i have disabled my antivirus firewall and run the installer for postman as an administrator. it hasn’t worked, i have deleted the squirreltemp folder and started again, it didnt work.

my system is a windows 64 bit. i don’t know what the issue is but i can’t continue with my class if downloading postman is holding me back.

I look forward to your response.

Thank you.

best regards,
nneka

Could you provide the log response for the error please?

Are you able to use the web platform? https://go.postman.co ?
