#### The ROS 1 noetic desktop variant.

This snap contains the ROS 1 noetic desktop variant [1].

It provides the ROS 1 noetic stack to other snaps to that use it.
It shares the ROS 1 noetic libraries, components and executables
through the content interface.
This helps reduce the size of snaps and helps developers to easily snap ROS 1 noetic 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].
Find out how to do so in the documentation [4].
You can report issues with this content snap on GitHub [5] where the source code is available [6]. \

## Enable snaps on openSUSE and install ros-noetic-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

Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.

You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.

Tumbleweed:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
```

Leap 15.x:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
```

If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.

With the repository added, import its GPG key:

```
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
```

Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository:

```
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
```

Snap can now be installed with the following:

```
sudo zypper install snapd
```

You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
```
