# STORE-ADMIN
This tool can be used to manage snap-store-proxy instances. It has various functionality and slightly different usage, depending, whether the snap-store-proxy is managed as an online proxy or an offline store.
# Installation
The store-admin is distributed as a snap, and can be installed via:
sudo snap install store-admin
# store-admin CLI
For the latest options and commands, please see the help op the store-admin itself, ie:
store-admin --help
store-admin can be used to:
## Register a snap-store-proxy
This is the step that is needed to make a trusted connection between the installed proxy and the Canonical managed snap-store. Via this relation any Snap Store client can trust the and connect to the snap-store-proxy instead of the upstream Snap Store directly.
## Manage revision overrides in an online proxy
Allows managing of snap revision overrides, in an online proxy. More details can be found [here](https://docs.ubuntu.com/snap-store-proxy/en/overrides).
## Manage snaps in an offline snap-store-proxy
Since an offline snap-store-proxy is not connected to the internet, this tool can be used to manage snaps available in the offline snap-store-proxy.

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.
On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the Arch User Repository (AUR). The manual build process is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the 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 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.
To install store-admin, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install store-admin
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
