Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.

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.

sudo pacman -S snapd
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
