A ‘snap’ is a universal Linux package. Snaps work on any distribution or device. Snaps are faster to install, easier to create, safer to run, and they update automatically and transactionally so your app is always fresh and never broken. The public collection of snaps includes the latest and best apps from GitHub and beyond, so you have the whole world of Linux apps at your fingertips.
To get snap working you need to do the following on ArchMerge: Install snapd
$ sudo pacman -S snapd
Once installed the systemd unit which is responsible to manage the main communication socket for snapd is not automatically enabled and you have to do this manually:
$ sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
Afterwards everything is setup to get you started with snaps.
