About this confined Snap
This package works with visible files in your home directory. For projects on USB/removable drives, connect the interface with:
sudo snap connect medha-ide:removable-media
GDB debugging and direct access to host-installed tools are not supported in this confined package. Git, CMake, cppcheck and external language servers are not bundled; installing them on the host with apt does not make them available inside this Snap.
Free and open source under GPL-3.0-or-later. Source code, documentation and issue reports: https://github.com/Kanak234/medha-ide

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, an app store with an audience of millions.
On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the Arch User Repository (AUR). The manual build process is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the prerequisites installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git
cd snapd
makepkg -si
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
If AppArmor is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service
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.
To install MEDHĀ IDE, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install medha-ide
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
