# Snap Obsoletion Notice #
This snap(tree-strict) has now been *superseded* by the `tree`
snap and will no longer recieve any updates. Please install
the `tree` snap and remove the `tree-strict` snap as soon as
possible.

If you have any problems regarding the obsoletion, feel free
to ask a question on <https://answers.launchpad.net/tree-snap>

# Original Description #
Tree is a recursive directory listing command that produces a depth indented listing of files, which is colorized ala dircolors if the LS\_COLORS environment variable is set and output is to tty. Tree has been ported and reported to work under the following operating systems: Linux, FreeBSD, OS X, Solaris, HP/UX, Cygwin, HP Nonstop and OS/2.

This snap ships the `tree` command in strict confinement mode, this means that it can only access non-directly-under-hidden-files under your home directory and (optionally) files under `/mnt` and `/media` via the `removable-media` interface, however in contrast with the `tree` snap it is installable in Ubuntu Core systems.

Run the following command in a terminal to create an alias of the `tree` command after installing the snap:

```
 sudo snap alias tree-strict tree
```

Note that if you just removed tree from APT distribution you will have to run the following command to regenerate GNU Bash's command search hash so that it will fall back to the command provided by the snap:

```
 hash -r
```

simply logout and re-login the user session will work.

This snap is maintained by 林博仁(Buo-ren, Lin), and is not endorsed or officially maintained by the upstream developers.

## Enable snaps on Kubuntu and install The Tree Command (OBSOLETED)

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
