The gadget snap will only be re-packed after the edit and does not need to be compiled from source (which provides full cross architecture support). Note that the existing snap assertions will not match anymore after the edit and you will have to either re-upload to the store to obtain a fresh signature or use it with a "dangerous" model assertion for local image builds. If you need to load/save gadget files to/from external media, you need to connect the removable-media snap interface with: ``` sudo snap connect gadget-editor:removable-media ``` ### Package name * gadget-editor --- ### License * GPL-2.0-only --- ### Last updated * 25 October 2026 - latest/stable * 23 October 2026 - latest/edge --- ### Websites * [github.com/ogra1/gadget-editor](https://github.com/ogra1/gadget-editor "https://github.com/ogra1/gadget-editor") --- ### Contact * [github.com/ogra1/gadget-editor/issues](https://github.com/ogra1/gadget-editor/issues "https://github.com/ogra1/gadget-editor/issues") --- ### Source code * [github.com/ogra1/gadget-editor](https://github.com/ogra1/gadget-editor "https://github.com/ogra1/gadget-editor") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/ogra1/gadget-editor/issues](https://github.com/ogra1/gadget-editor/issues "https://github.com/ogra1/gadget-editor/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/gadget-editor/ubuntu#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install Gadget Editor 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. ### Install Gadget Editor To install Gadget Editor, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install gadget-editor ``` ### 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?
