#### mmctl is a remote CLI tool for Mattermost

Snap packaging for `mmctl`, the remote CLI tool for Mattermost.

**Community project**

*This snap is maintained independently and is not endorsed by or affiliated with Mattermost, Inc.*

**Installation**

`sudo snap install mmctl-bp`

**Convenient alias**

The snap command is `mmctl-bp.mmctl`. To call it as plain `mmctl`, create an alias:

`sudo snap alias mmctl-bp.mmctl mmctl`

**Sandboxing**

The snap runs under strict confinement. It has access to the network (to reach your Mattermost server) and read/write access to files under your `$HOME` directory — necessary for authentication with token files.

**Configuration**

mmctl configuration is stored under:

`$HOME/snap/mmctl-bp/common/.config/`

This location is shared across all versions of the snap, so your credentials and settings survive upgrades and refreshes without any manual migration.
