The following is an addition to the couple of excellent answers found in this post
as it helped me and i would be happy if it helped someone.
Objective:
If you are like me and you are looking to launch Postman
from the Run command prompt
(Windows + R keys), read on.
One of the places that the Run command prompt
will pick up commands is from the Path
environment variable. So i modified the Path
environment variable and added:
C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Local\Postman
Now i can Windows + R, enter Postman in the prompt et voila!
Note: If another location opens up, like for me
C:\Users\<Username>\Postman\files
Delete that location, if you are not using it.
Bonus:
To find out more about how & where the Run command prompt
is resolving its command, you may want to read this excellent post
