Installing snapd

Snaps can be used on all major Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Debian and Fedora.

Snap is pre-installed and ready to go on the following:

Any recent Ubuntu release:
- Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS (Xenial Xerus) or later, including Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver), Ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish), Ubuntu 19.04 (Disco Dingo) and Ubuntu 19.10 (Eoan Ermine)
Most recognised Ubuntu flavours built on one of the above Ubuntu releases (an exception is Lubuntu, see below)
Solus 3 and above
Zorin OS

If you’re using a desktop, a great first step is to install the Snap Store app.

For distributions without snap pre-installed (see above), use the links below for specific installation instructions.
