#### A GTK4 graphical frontend for ClamAV antivirus

Clamtk-rs antivirus is a lightweight, user-friendly graphical frontend for ClamAV
written in Rust with GTK4. It provides on-demand virus scanning, virus
signature updates (freshclam), a quarantine manager, scan history and
detailed scan settings.

The snap bundles its own ClamAV (clamscan and freshclam) and runs under
strict confinement. Virus definitions are downloaded automatically on the
first scan and can be refreshed from the Update Signatures page.

## Enable snaps on CentOS and install clamtk-rs

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

Snap is available for [CentOS 7.6+](https://snapcraft.io/install/clamtk-rs/centos), and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6+, from the [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) (EPEL) repository. The EPEL repository can be added to your system with the following command:

```
sudo yum install epel-release
```

Snap can now be installed as follows:

```
sudo yum install 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.
