This snap ships the polkadot as a service for node operators.
Configure your polkadot service (written to /var/snap/polkadot/common/service-args):
sudo snap set polkadot service-args="--name=MyName --chain=polkadot"
Note: --base-path is always set by the snap to $SNAP_COMMON/polkadot_base and is not allowed to be configured.
Start the service with:
sudo snap start polkadot
Check logs from the Polkadot service:
snap logs polkadot -f
Make the snap not restart when upgraded/refreshed (very useful for validators).
sudo snap set polkadot endure=true
Note the Polkadot service will still be restarted as the result of changing service-args, etc.

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, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap is available for CentOS 7.6+, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6+, from the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository. The EPEL repository can be added to your system with the following command:
sudo yum install epel-release
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.
To install Polkadot, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install polkadot
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
