#### Fortran Standard Library

The Fortran Standard, as published by the ISO (<https://wg5-fortran.org/>), does not have a
Standard Library. The goal of this project is to provide a community driven and agreed upon
de facto "standard" library for Fortran, called a Fortran Standard Library (stdlib). We have a
rigorous process how stdlib is developed as documented in our Workflow. stdlib is both a
specification and a reference implementation. We are cooperating with the Fortran Standards
Committee (e.g., the effort started at the J3 committee repository) and the plan is to continue
working with the Committee in the future (such as in the step 5. in the Workflow document),
so that if the Committee wants to standardize some feature already available in stdlib,
it would base it on stdlib's implementation.

## Enable snaps on Kubuntu and install stdlib

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

If you’re running [Kubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://kubuntu.org/) or later, including [Kubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes/Kubuntu) and [Kubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CosmicCuttlefish/ReleaseNotes/Kubuntu), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

Versions of Kubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-14-04-lts) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-15-10) don’t include *snap* by default, but *snap* can be installed from the command line as follows:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```

### Install stdlib

To install stdlib, simply use the following command:

```
sudo snap install stdlib
```
