A photo of your home city from Wikipedia is optional; the default living sky needs no internet. ### Package name * planet-time --- ### License * MIT AND CC-BY-SA-3.0 AND CC-BY-3.0 --- ### Last updated * 13 October 2026 - latest/stable --- ### Websites * [github.com/pavistern/planet-time](https://github.com/pavistern/planet-time "https://github.com/pavistern/planet-time") --- ### Contact * [github.com/pavistern/planet-time/issues](https://github.com/pavistern/planet-time/issues "https://github.com/pavistern/planet-time/issues") --- ### Source code * [github.com/pavistern/planet-time](https://github.com/pavistern/planet-time "https://github.com/pavistern/planet-time") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/pavistern/planet-time/issues](https://github.com/pavistern/planet-time/issues "https://github.com/pavistern/planet-time/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/planet-time/ubuntu#report-snap-modal) --- [See more information about planet-time ›](https://snapcraft.io/planet-time) ## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install Planet Time 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. ### Install Planet Time To install Planet Time, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install planet-time ``` ### 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?
