Installing and Running Newman
Prerequisites
Newman is distributed as an npm package, so Node.js and npm must be installed on your machine before you can install it.
Installing Newman
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
| npm install -g newman | Installs Newman globally on the system |
| newman -v | Confirms the installed version |
Exporting a Collection
Before running with Newman, export the collection (and environment, if used) as JSON files from Postman using the three-dot menu next to the collection name.
Running a Collection
The basic command is newman run collection.json. Adding -e environment.json applies a specific environment, and results are printed directly in the terminal.
With Newman installed and running, the next step is generating detailed reports from those collection runs.
