West is the Zephyr RTOS meta-tool: a swiss-army knife command-line utility that helps you manage and develop Zephyr-based projects.
It provides multi-repository management on top of Git, letting you fetch and update the Zephyr source tree and its many modules from a single manifest. On top of that, West offers an extensible set of commands for building, flashing, and debugging applications, so the whole Zephyr development workflow is available through one consistent interface.
This snap bundles west together with its Python dependencies, providing a self-contained installation that does not require a separate Python environment or pip.

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, an app store with an audience of millions.
On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the Arch User Repository (AUR). The manual build process is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the prerequisites installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git
cd snapd
makepkg -si
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
If AppArmor is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service
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.
To install Zephyr West, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install zephyr-west --edge
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
