#### The Open Graph Viz Platform

**Gephi is the leading open-source platform for visualizing and manipulating large graphs.**

* **Fast** Powered by a built-in OpenGL engine, Gephi is able to push the envelope with very large networks. Visualize networks up to a million elements. All actions (e.g. layout, filter, drag) run in real-time.
* **Simple** Easy to install and get started. An UI that is centered around the visualization. Like Photoshop™ for graphs.
* **Extensible** Extend Gephi with plug-ins.

Example datasets can be found on our wiki: <https://github.com/gephi/gephi/wiki/Datasets>

Localization is available in English, French, Spanish, Japanese, Russian, Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese, Czech, German, Romanian, Greek, Hungarian, Korean, Swedish and Ukrainian

## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install Gephi

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 Gephi

To install Gephi, simply use the following command:

```
sudo snap install gephi
