My situation is, I am trying to install postman-to-k6 to get insight how to work with conversions from postman to K6. My attempts install the software on both my Ubuntu machine and my mac, have been unsuccessfully.

So my question is am I missing something fundamentally step to install the the postman-to-k6 tool and in that case what would that be or is there something wrong with the npm package?

I have tried following this process described here:

https://k6.io/blog/load-testing-with-postman-collections

When i get to the step to use the following command npm install -g postman-to-k6 in the terminal, this output is showing up on the Ubuntu machine:

martin.jonsson@unassigned:~$ npm install -g postman-to-k6

You're running a really really old version of NodeJS. The logs are trying to tell you that you need to run a version between 10.12.0 and 12.0.0:

wanted: {"node":"^10.12.0 || >=12.0.0"}

While I'm unable to reproduce the error on my machine, I'd definitely recommend you to start by upgrading to a more recent version of NodeJS.

  • Thanks this helped me to get further on the way, but there seems to be some other challenges. I seem to get this error now instead: Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/postman-to-k6/vendor' – Martin Jönsson Mar 30 '21 at 13:52
  • I think i solved it using this solution: You need to change ownership of node_modules, because you use sudo npm install -g "node-sass so its ownership set to root, To change ownership to current user as group - sudo chown -R root:YOUR_USERNAME /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ sudo chmod -R 775 /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ As stated in this awnser: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49679808/error-eacces-permission-denied-mkdir-usr-local-lib-node-modules-node-sass-b – Martin Jönsson Mar 30 '21 at 14:52
