You can check the services for a snap under the service section in the output of the “ snap info snap-name” command. Importantly, a single snap may contain several applications and services that work together to provide the overall functionality of that snap. Besides, the services are also enabled to automatically start at system boot. Remove an Alias for a Snap Managing a Snap’s Servicesįor some snaps, the underlying functionality is exposed through applications that run as daemons or services, once the snap is installed, they are automatically started to run continuously in the background. To remove an alias for a snap, use the unalias command. From now on, you can use the alias to run the snap. To list aliases for a snap, for example, mailspring, run the following command. You can create an alias for a snap using the alias command. A snap’s default (or standard) aliases have to undergo a public review process before they are enabled, but you create aliases for your local system. Snap also supports creating aliases for applications.
# which mailspringĬheck Command Path Create and Using Snap Aliases You can also find the absolute pathname of an application or command using the which command. To see the commands available beneath a snap, run the “ snap info snap-name” command, and look at the command section as highlighted in the following screenshot. If the /snap/bin/ or /var/lib/snapd/snap/bin/ directory is in your PATH, you can run an app by just typing its name/command: $ mailspring You can verify the environmental variable by typing.

To only type the application name without typing its full pathname, ensure that the /snap/bin/ or /var/lib/snapd/snap/bin/ is in your PATH environmental variable (it should be added by default). To run an app from the command-line, simply enter its absolute pathname, for example. You can list the content of the snap directory using the ls command as shown. By default, all applications associated to a snap are installed under the /snap/bin/ directory on Debian based distributions and /var/lib/snapd/snap/bin/ for RHEL based distributions. Run Apps from SnapsĪ snap may provide a single application (or a group of applications) which you run from the graphical user interface or using commands.
LA SNAP APPLICATION HOW TO
It covers how to run snaps from the command-line interface, creates and use snap aliases, interacts with a snap’s services, and create and manage snapshots of a snap. This is the second article in a two-part series about a beginner’s guide to snaps in Linux.
