Introduction

Un package Ubuntu Snap, ou simplement Snap est un format de distribution similaire à AppImage en ce qu'il est destiné à être un "package installable universel" pour déployer le logiciel pour les systèmes Linux. Les snaps ont été introduits par Ubuntu mais ils sont destinés à fonctionner dans toutes les distributions Linux tant que le démon Snap, ou snapd, est disponible dans le système cible.

A Snap package has two main characteristics:

  • Programs are sandboxed so they do not interfere with the rest of your operating system.
  • Programs are updated automatically in the background in order to get the newest version of the application.

For other ways of installing the software, see Installing.

Installation

As of v0.19 the use of Snaps is experimental. The current Snaps are generated and hosted by volunteers.

In all systems where Snaps are to be installed, the Snap daemon must be installed first. The package is normally called snapd.

For Debian/Ubuntu and similar systems which use the APT manager the daemon is installed as follows:

sudo apt install snapd

To install the stable version of the Snap use:

sudo snap install freecad

To install the development version of the Snap use:

sudo snap install --edge freecad-ppd
