Launch a Chrome app from command line

Answered thanks to @JacobVlijm .

To run a chrome app from command-line, use the following :

google-chrome --app-id=[app_id]

Assuming the path of google-chrome is /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome.

To retrieve the app id, search the first occurrence of the application name in /home/$USER/.local/share/applications .


After all the stuff I have executed following command, worked for me and open postman

google-chrome --app-id=fhbjgbiflinjbdggehcddcbncdddomop

Assume default configurations

Pattern: google-chrome --app-id=<extensionID>

To get the extension ID:

  • open chrome://extensions/ in your chrome browser
  • click "Details" button of Postman extension
  • view address on address bar, where url in format of chrome://extensions/?id=<extensionID> Copy extensionID from url and use it in command

In same way you can use any extension of google chrome
