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. ### Package name * openmarch --- ### License * GPL-3.0 --- ### Last updated * 18 February 2026 - latest/stable * 18 September 2026 - latest/edge --- ### Websites * [openmarch.com](https://openmarch.com/ "https://openmarch.com/") --- ### Donations * [www.patreon.com](https://www.patreon.com/c/openmarch "https://www.patreon.com/c/openmarch") --- ### Source code * [github.com/OpenMarch/OpenMarch](https://github.com/OpenMarch/OpenMarch "https://github.com/OpenMarch/OpenMarch") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/OpenMarch/OpenMarch/issues](https://github.com/OpenMarch/OpenMarch/issues "https://github.com/OpenMarch/OpenMarch/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/openmarch/rhel#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Red Hat Enterprise 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 Snap is available for [Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8](https://www.redhat.com/en/enterprise-linux-8) and RHEL 7, from the 7.6 release onward. The packages for RHEL 7, RHEL 8, and RHEL 9 are in each distribution’s respective [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) (EPEL) repository. The instructions for adding this repository diverge slightly between RHEL 7, RHEL 8 and RHEL 9, which is why they’re listed separately below. The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 9** with the following command: ``` sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm sudo dnf upgrade ``` The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 8** with the following command: ``` sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm sudo dnf upgrade ``` The EPEL repository can be added to **RHEL 7** with the following command: ``` sudo rpm -ivh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm ``` Adding the *optional* and *extras* repositories is also recommended: ``` sudo subscription-manager repos --enable "rhel-*-optional-rpms" --enable "rhel-*-extras-rpms" sudo yum update ``` Snap can now be installed as follows: ``` sudo yum install 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 ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
