Where does Postman install to?

On Windows, Postman installs to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Postman.

• As a shortcut, you can enter %LocalAppData%\Postman.
• The main Postman executable is stored in a subfolder \app-5.x.x
  • (Replace x with app version)

There are two likely reasons why Postman installs to %AppData%

• The %AppData% folder is per-user, allowing installation without administrator rights
• Postman seems to use the Squirrel Installer, which doesn't allow custom install directories
  • (Noted by the presence of \Postman\app-5.x.x\SquirrelSetup.log)

Thanks to LPChip for suggesting %AppData% as a possible install location.

The Postman native application is installed by default in %LocalAppData%\Postman. The reason for using this location might be that administrator privileges are not required to access this folder.

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.
