linux 安装snap7,centOS7安装snap，解决snap: command not found

Step 1:  Install the COPR plugin and EPEL

Kick off the installation by adding epel repository and installing copr yum plugin.

sudo yum install epel-release

sudo yum install yum-plugin-copr

Then add the repo:

$ sudo yum copr enable ngompa/snapcore-el7

Loaded plugins: copr, fastestmirror

You are about to enable a Copr repository. Please note that this

repository is not part of the main Fedora distribution, and quality

may vary.

The Fedora Project does not exercise any power over the contents of

this repository beyond the rules outlined in the Copr FAQ at

, and

packages are not held to any quality or securty level.

Please do not file bug reports about these packages in Fedora

Bugzilla. In case of problems, contact the owner of this repository.

Do you want to continue? [y/N]: y

copr done

Once the repository has been added, install snapd package.

sudo yum -y install snapd

Wait for the installation to finish then enable snapd socket:

$ sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket

Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/sockets.target.wants/snapd.socket to /usr/lib/systemd/system/snapd.socket.

Classic confinement requires snaps under /snap or symlink from /snap to /var/lib/snapd/snap. Create a symlink for it like below:

sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap

Snapd is now ready for use. You interact with it using the snap command. See help page below:

# snap --help

Usage:

How to Install Snap Applications on CentOS 7

We use snap command line tool to interact with snaps available on Snap Store.

Searching for a snap:

To search for Snaps, use

$ snap find 

This will query the store and list the results with their version number, developer names, and the description.

I’ll do an example for installation of Microsoft PowerShell automation and configuration management platform on CentOS 7 server.

# snap search powershell

Name Version Developer Notes Summary

powershell-preview 6.1.0-preview.4 microsoft-powershell classic PowerShell for every system!

powershell 6.0.4 microsoft-powershell classic PowerShell for every system!

Install snap by running:

sudo yum install -y icu

sudo snap install powershell --classic

Wait for the download to finish, it should take short time to complete. Since the binary file is located under,/snap/bin/ we need to add this to the $PATHvariable.

$ sudo vim /etc/profile

export PATH="$PATH:/snap/bin/"

Source the file to get new PATH

source /etc/profile

Test by starting the pwshsession.

# pwsh

PowerShell v6.0.4

Type 'help' to get help.

PS /root>

To list installed snaps:

# snap list

Name Version Rev Developer Notes

core 16-2.34.3 5145 canonical core

powershell 6.0.4 8 microsoft-powershell classic

Manually update snaps by running snap refresh

# snap refresh powershell

snap "powershell" has no updates available

Removing Snaps

To remove a snap, all you need to do is run.snap remove   In our case just do:

# snap remove powershell

powershell removed

Check snap info:

Use the command snap info to check for more info about a snap package.

[root@cent-01 ~]# snap info powershell

name: powershell

summary: PowerShell for every system!

Conclusion

By now you should be able to install snaps the store, manually update them, remove them, check installed snaps and much more. The snap command line is designed to be as simple and memorisable as possible. It should become a second nature to you after using it just a couple of times.
