Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Postman CLI

The Postman CLI brings the power of Postman’s API platform directly to your terminal. It lets you run collections, automate tests, integrate API checks into CI/CD pipelines, and enforce quality gates — all with a single, lightweight command-line tool. Whether you’re debugging locally, scaling systems, or embedding API workflows into your build system, the Postman CLI helps you bridge the gap between collaborative API design in Postman and automated execution in your development and production environments.

npm

npm install -g postman-cli

Platform Support

This package automatically downloads the appropriate binary for your platform:

  • macOS (Intel & Apple Silicon)
  • Linux (x64)
  • Windows (x64)

Note: Linux support excludes Alpine Linux distributions due to libc compatibility requirements.

Troubleshooting Installation

The Postman CLI relies on platform-specific binaries distributed as optional dependencies. If you encounter "Binary not found" errors, ensure you're not using --no-optional or --omit=optional flags during installation, and verify that your .npmrc configuration doesn't contain optional=false. Installation failures may also occur due to network/registry access issues blocking @postman/* scoped packages or when using an unsupported platform architecture.
