For usage instructions and questions, refer to **Stable Releases** For every versioned release of the CHIP project, the snap maintainers initiate a release process for the snap package. This process typically concludes within 4 weeks and includes smoke testing across all supported architectures. Stable revisions are first published to the `latest/candidate` channel. Following successful manual testing, the revisions are promoted to the `latest/stable` channel. The versioning format for stable revisions is `+`. For instance, a release with no snap-specific changes on top of the v1.3.0.0 CHIP release will be versioned as `v1.3.0.0+snap`. A subsequent revision with only snap-related changes will use `v1.3.0.0+snap.1`. **Development Releases** Weekly development releases are built from the latest upstream changes in the CHIP project (master branch). These builds are automatically triggered by GitHub workflows. The resulting revisions are first published to the `latest/edge` channel. After successful automated smoke testing, the revisions are promoted to the `latest/beta` channel. Development releases do not get promoted to the `latest/candidate` or `latest/stable` channels. The versioning for development releases mirrors that of stable releases but uses the short git hash instead of a version tag. This results in a version format like `+snap`. --- Matter is a trademark of Connectivity Standards Alliance: *Icon by OpenMoji* ### Package name * chip-tool --- ### License * Apache-2.0 --- ### Last updated * 17 June 2026 - latest/stable * 14 September 2026 - latest/beta --- ### Websites * [github.com/canonical/chip-tool-snap](https://github.com/canonical/chip-tool-snap "https://github.com/canonical/chip-tool-snap") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/chip-tool/manjaro#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Manjaro Linux and install chip-tool Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd Snapd can be installed from Manjaro’s Add/Remove Software application (Pamac), found in the launch menu. From the application, search for *snapd*, select the result, and click Apply. Alternatively, *snapd* can be installed from the command line: ``` sudo pacman -S snapd ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install chip-tool To install chip-tool, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install chip-tool ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
