This snap is intended to provide an easy-to-install package of the ROOT framework for home users and students. This package is ideal for users who are looking for an easy installation process that is consistent across systems without the need for integration with other frameworks, IDE's, or external packages. For these use-cases, you may want to take a look at other available builds of ROOT at ROOT is built using the C++20 standard, and it comes bundled along with Python 3.12/PyROOT and Jupyter Notebook / JupyROOT. NumPy, SciPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Scikit-Learn and Tensorflow/Keras are included with the Python environments. Snaps are container packages for easy application deployment, designed to be consistent and reliable across different host distributions. They additionally impose some strong sandboxing for security. One caveat of this sandboxing is that this package can only read/write to your `$HOME` directory, or via specific network protocols. It is highly advised that you place all your data files in your `$HOME` directory to be accessible. Because snaps are containers and don't affect the host system, using PyROOT with `import ROOT` will not work in a system Python shell. Users are encouraged to use the command `pyroot` to access the containers' Python shell, where `import ROOT` would become available. Scripts can be passed to `pyroot` to be executed in PyROOTs context, E.G, `pyroot -i $(root-config --tutdir)/pyroot/fillrandom.py`, or put in the scripts shebang. E.G `#!/snap/bin/pyroot` JupyROOT can be accessed by running `root --notebook`. For user convenience, application entries for ROOT and PyROOT will be placed into the systems start menu by default. ### Package name * root-framework --- ### License * GPL-3.0 AND LGPL-2.1+ --- ### Last updated * 27 September 2026 - latest/stable * 16 July 2025 - v6.22/stable --- ### Websites * [root.cern](https://root.cern "https://root.cern") --- ### Contact * [github.com/JGCarroll](https://github.com/JGCarroll "https://github.com/JGCarroll") --- ### Source code * [github.com/root-project/root](https://github.com/root-project/root "https://github.com/root-project/root") * [github.com/JGCarroll/root-snap](https://github.com/JGCarroll/root-snap "https://github.com/JGCarroll/root-snap") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/JGCarroll/root-snap/issues](https://github.com/JGCarroll/root-snap/issues "https://github.com/JGCarroll/root-snap/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/root-framework/fedora#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Fedora and install ROOT Framework 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 ROOT Framework To install ROOT Framework, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install root-framework ``` ### 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?
