# Create your test environment

For this stage, we will use Postman. You can download from this URL: <https://www.postman.com/downloads/>&#x20;

Once Postman is installed, you can configure it by creating a new environment:

* Click on `Environments` and then the `+` button

&#x20;

## Define the environment

Set a name for this environment. For example « ARCHIPELS CONNECT SANDBOX»

Set the variable Base\_URL with the available values:\
\- **Sandbox**: app-api.sandbox.archipels.io\
\- **Production**: app-api.archipels.io

* Create a second variable "AccessTokenHolder", and paste the value of the access token you created previously in [Configure an access token](/archipels-documentation/set-up/configure-an-access-token.md)

* Select the type: OAuth 2.0

For all the requests you will create in this collection, do not set an OATH authorization! Keep the default setting `Inherit auth from parent`:&#x20;
