## Enable snaps on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and install gemma3
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 [Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8](https://www.redhat.com/en/enterprise-linux-8) and RHEL 7, from the 7.6 release onward.
The packages for RHEL 7, RHEL 8, and RHEL 9 are in each distribution’s respective [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) (EPEL) repository. The instructions for adding this repository diverge slightly between RHEL 7, RHEL 8 and RHEL 9, which is why they’re listed separately below.
The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 9** with the following command:
```
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf upgrade
```
The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 8** with the following command:
```
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf upgrade
```
The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 7** with the following command:
```
sudo rpm -ivh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
```
Adding the *optional* and *extras* repositories is also recommended:
```
sudo subscription-manager repos --enable "rhel-*-optional-rpms" --enable "rhel-*-extras-rpms"
sudo yum update
```
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.
