This snap contains the ROS 2 lyrical desktop variant [1]. It provides the ROS 2 lyrical stack to other snaps to that use it. It shares the ROS 2 lyrical libraries, components and executables through the content interface. This helps reduce the size of snaps and helps developers to easily snap ROS 2 lyrical applications. *For users* This snap is automatically installed and removed when needed. Manually adding or removing this snap is not recommended and might break things. If you are having issues with snaps using ROS, please contact the experts on the Snapcraft forum [2]. *For developers* The `ros` extensions are the recommended way to use this in your own snap [3].

You can report issues with this content snap on GitHub [5] where the source code is available [6]. \ [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] ROS lyrical logo is a trademark of Open Source Robotics Foundation. ### Package name * ros-lyrical-desktop-dev --- ### License * unset --- ### Last updated * 9 October 2026 - latest/stable * 13 October 2026 - latest/beta --- ### Websites * [github.com/canonical/ros-content-sharing-snaps](https://github.com/canonical/ros-content-sharing-snaps "https://github.com/canonical/ros-content-sharing-snaps") --- ### Contact * [ubuntu-robotics-community@canonical.com](mailto:ubuntu-robotics-community@canonical.com "mailto:ubuntu-robotics-community@canonical.com") --- ### Source code * [github.com/canonical/ros-content-sharing-snaps](https://github.com/canonical/ros-content-sharing-snaps "https://github.com/canonical/ros-content-sharing-snaps") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/canonical/ros-content-sharing-snaps/issues](https://github.com/canonical/ros-content-sharing-snaps/issues "https://github.com/canonical/ros-content-sharing-snaps/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/ros-lyrical-desktop-dev/arch#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install ros-lyrical-desktop-dev 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 On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/) The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites) installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following: ``` git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git cd snapd makepkg -si ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service ``` 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. ### Install ros-lyrical-desktop-dev To install ros-lyrical-desktop-dev, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install ros-lyrical-desktop-dev ``` ### 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?
