#### Basic snap declaring a plug on the libvirt interface

Apart from consuming the libvirt interface this snap packages a tiny vm
to be run with libvirt and be able to run some checks. The vm is a solo5
unikernel which is built during snap creation.

As a prerrequisite, a tap interface must be available for the vm to be
connected, the default name is tap100 and can be created with
ip tuntap add tap100 mode tap
ip addr add 10.0.0.1/24 dev tap100
ip link set dev tap100 up

With this in place, the vm would be accessible at 10.0.0.2

Once you execute machine-up, the vm will respond to ping requests.

## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install test-snapd-libvirt-consumer

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 [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*.

Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:

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

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
