#### Open source drill-writing software

OpenMarch is an open source drill writing software built on web app frameworks. Our goal is to be a free and easy drill writing solution for marching bands, indoor programs, and applicable performing ensembles. OpenMarch hopes to be enough for 90% of ensembles with reasonable design needs. We want to make drill writing effortless.

OpenMarch is designed with three principles:

Stay free - All of the technologies OpenMarch uses have been intentionally chosen to minimize operation costs. This ensures that OpenMarch remains accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation.
Stay fast - OpenMarch is built with performance in mind. We want to ensure that the software runs smoothly on any device, making the drill writing process efficient and enjoyable.
Stay simple - We focus on providing essential features without unnecessary complexity. Our interface is intuitive and easy to use, allowing you to create drill without a steep learning curve.

There may never be a day where OpenMarch has support for a 3D rendered marching band of 900 with live video feed jumbotron props. OpenMarch's current (and really only) focus is on the drill-writing experience. We hope you like our software.

## Enable snaps on Manjaro Linux and install OpenMarch

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

Snapd can be installed from Manjaro’s Add/Remove Software application (Pamac), found in the launch menu. From the application, search for *snapd*, select the result, and click Apply.

Alternatively, *snapd* can be installed from the command line:

```
sudo pacman -S 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.

### Install OpenMarch

To install OpenMarch, simply use the following command:

```
sudo snap install openmarch
