#### Manage your audio book library from the command line.

Library entries can easily be updated an metadata may be written back to the files.
Check this page for an overview of how to use this tool:
This snap is using strict confinement meaning that you can only access files in your home folder. If your collection of audio books is stored somewhere else you can use a bind mount to make them available to the snap.
```mkdir /home/your\_username/audiobooks```
```sudo mount --bind /storage/audiobooks /home/your\_username/audiobooks/```
You can make these changes permanently by editing `/etc/fstab`:
```# ```
```/storage/audiobooks /home/your\_username/audiobooks auto bind 0 3```

## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install fbrary - Audio Book Manager
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.
