#### Workshops are secure, fast, and composable development environments that come agent-ready.

Workshop gives every project a reproducible, sandboxed development environment
— defined in a single workshop.yaml and launched with one command.

```
 sudo snap install workshop --classic
 workshop init dev --sdks opencode,go/1.27,node/24   # create workshop.yaml
 workshop launch                                     # build the environment
 workshop shell                                      # drop into it
```

Each workshop is a system container: a small Ubuntu system with its own users,
packages, networking and systemd services. Virtual machines are also
supported as an experimental option.

**Why Workshop**

* Composable — assemble environments from SDKs (coding agents, Node, Go,
  Python, Rust, GPU tooling…) published on the SDK Store, or build your own.
* Transactional — every update to the workshop is a change you can inspect, with automatic
  rollback on failure.
* Sandboxed — experiment, break things, and discard with no leftovers on the
  host. Expose host directories, devices, secrets, network ports in a
  transparent and controllable way on demand.
* Agent-ready — run coding agents inside the sandbox with scoped access to
  your project and secrets, not your whole machine.

## Enable snaps on CentOS and install Workshop

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

Snap is available for [CentOS 7.6+](https://snapcraft.io/install/workshop/centos), and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6+, from the [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) (EPEL) repository. The EPEL repository can be added to your system with the following command:

```
sudo yum install epel-release
```

Snap can now be installed as follows:

```
sudo yum install snapd
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

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.

### Install Workshop

To install Workshop, simply use the following command:

```
sudo snap install workshop --classic
```
