#### Polkadot - A multi-chain framework for better blockchain interoperability

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.*

## Enable snaps on Fedora and install Polkadot

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 can be installed on Fedora from the command line:

```
sudo dnf install snapd
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.

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
```

### Install Polkadot

To install Polkadot, simply use the following command:

```
sudo snap install polkadot
