#### EasyReflectometry is a scientific software for modelling and analysis of reflectometry data

EasyReflectometry allows simulation of reflectometry profiles based on layered structures and the refinements of the structural parameters. For refinement, the program uses a number of fitting engines (minimizers).

EasyReflectometry offers a graphical user interface for the analysis of reflectometry data, built on external reflectometry packages such as refnx and refl1d.
This allows EasyReflectometry to cover different functionality aspects within a single, intuitive, and user-friendly interface.
The reflectomety packages are included with the installation so there is no need to download and compile any additional components.

## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install EasyReflectometry

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

If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*.

Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
