--- title: Install ucore-car on openSUSE using the Snap Store | Snapcraft description: Get the latest version of ucore-car for on openSUSE - Snap to operate the Core Car, which is based on SunFounder Picar-V url: https://snapcraft.io/install/ucore-car/opensuse --- [Canonical Snapcraft](https://snapcraft.io/) # Install ucore-car on **openSUSE** # ucore-car [Steve Barriault (skidooman)](https://snapcraft.io/publisher/skidooman "View all snaps from Steve Barriault (skidooman)") * [Steve Barriault (skidooman)](https://snapcraft.io/publisher/skidooman "View all snaps from Steve Barriault (skidooman)") [Install](https://snapcraft.io/install/ucore-car/opensuse#install) #### Snap to operate the Core Car, which is based on SunFounder Picar-V This project took the open source code from SunFounder Picar-V (as in video) project and modified it to enable a new UI interface. It also got rid of any Django dependencies. To the best of my abilities it only uses modules available in the Ubuntu archive + pip3. The car itself was modified with a new battery pack (from SunFounder) so as to enable one member of my team (-Ogra-) to design a charging station -facility- . This is all for conference and trade shows but hopefully a few hobbyists can also reuse what I did. TO USE, YOU WILL NEED TO CONNECT INTERFACES, since it is in strict confinement. It is meant to work with Ubuntu Core (tested on Core 22), but Core 22.04 works too. INSTALLATION First, install the snap (snap install core-car). Then, connect your interfaces on Core, otherwise the OS will not give access snap connect core-car:name\_of\_plug snapd:name\_of\_slot It should look like this skidooman@core-car~$ snap connections core-car Interface Plug Slot Notes camera core-car:camera :camera manual gpio-memory-control core-car:gpio-memory-control :gpio-memory-control manual home core-car:home :home manual i2c core-car:i2c pi:i2c-0 manual i2c core-car:i2c pi:i2c-1 manual network core-car:network :network - network-bind core-car:network-bind :network-bind - I would then sudo snap restart core-car, and it should work.

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 Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed. You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor. Tumbleweed: ``` sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy ``` Leap 15.x: ``` sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy ``` If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE. With the repository added, import its GPG key: ``` sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh ``` Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository: ``` sudo zypper dup --from snappy ``` Snap can now be installed with the following: ``` sudo zypper install snapd ``` You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH. Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor ``` ### Install ucore-car To install ucore-car, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install ucore-car ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
