Simplify your snapcraft.yaml development with Jsonnet
Use Jsonnet syntax to build your snapcraft.yaml. Jsonnet allows you to import and use third-party snippet libraries to save writing the same boilerplate over and over again. The author of this snap has documented and catalogued several libraries, which can be found via https://sc-jsonnet.readthedocs.io/en/latest/available-libraries.html.
Enable snaps on Manjaro Linux and install sc-jsonnet
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, an app store with an audience of millions.
Enable snapd
Snapd can be installed from Manjaro’s Add/Remove Software application (Pamac), found in the launch menu. From the application, search for snapd, select the result, and click Apply.
Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:
sudo pacman -S snapd
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
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 sc-jsonnet
To install sc-jsonnet, simply use the following command:
