## Enable snaps on elementary OS and install PWGen-Rust

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 elementary OS from the command line. Open *Terminal* from the Applications launcher and type the following:

```

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