#### Chat + Tasks = Magic

Finally - chat & tasks in one place. Forget switching between apps just to keep track of what’s going on.

**CHAT +TASKS = MAGIC**
Zenchat is the perfect mix of team chat and task management:

* Quickly turn any message into a task & assign or edit within your chat. Never switch apps for routine task management again.
* Get in the habit of directly chatting about tasks so valuable information stays where it belongs.
* See chats related to all tasks in a project, or choose to focus only on your tasks.
* Mention and assign tasks anyone to bring them into a chat.

What happens when you use Zenchat:
- less context switching between chat and task management tools
- less cluttered chats, less scrolling, less searching
- less confusion about where to add comments and important information
+ more time within your natural workflow
+ more motivation and engagement with team members
+ more overview and understanding about what's going on
+ more value of your information by chatting about tasks and topics

**ZENKIT UNIVERSE**
Optionally connect to the Zenkit Universe to see your tasks in advanced views like Kanban, Gantt, to do list apps, and vice versa!

**ENTERPRISE**
Zenchat is enterprise-ready (SSO, SAML, SCIM, Groups, Roles, permissions etc.)

## Enable snaps on CentOS and install Zenchat

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/zenchat/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 Zenchat

To install Zenchat, simply use the following command:

```
sudo snap install zenchat
```
