Prerequisite.
So postman is chrome App. So you first need to install POSTMAN add-on into chrome browser. So first install Chrome browser and then install postman.

Lets just take simple go through of postman UI. To test Rest enable client server for happy path running scenario you need to test simple four request /response for any API.
GET - To Get some data via API request
POST - To Insert/Input some data via API request
PUT - To Update data via API request
DELETE - To Delete data via API request.
Below images represent where to put request URL and how to make side by side request.
(1). Basically request editor in UI is section where user can add base URL to check request and response. Also UI has sidebar which maintain collection of request and also maintain history in history tab.
