#### A digital cataloging app for natural history specimens

NAHPU (NAtural History Project Utility), loosely named after the Greater
Malay Chevrotain, Tragulus napu, is a field cataloging application for
natural history collections.

NAHPU records specimens, collecting events, sites, narratives, and media in
a single project database, and exports to Darwin Core, CSV, and printable
labels and catalog sheets. It supports mammalogy, ornithology, herpetology,
and invertebrate zoology collections, works fully offline in the field, and
keeps every project in a self-contained file you own.

## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install NAHPU

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.
