Installation of Snap in Kali Linux

Snap Store is an app store for Linux Destro. By default, the snap store is not installed in Kali. Now I’m going to share a procedure which is worked for me.

Step 1: Install Snap

Using terminal:

~$sudo apt update

~$ sudo apt install snap

But it shows something missing. To fix this, we need to execute another command.

~$ sudo apt --fix-broken install

Now again try to install Snap.

~$ sudo apt install Snap

It works! Time to go to the next step.

Step 2: Install Snapd

To install Snapd follow the commands.

~$ sudo apt install snapd

Step 3: Start and add the service to autoload

~$ sudo systemctl start snapd

~$ sudo systemctl enable snapd

Step 4: Enable Systemd Unit

~$ systemctl start apparmor ~$ systemctl enable apparmor

Step 5: Check it’s workable or not

Executing the following command snap ‘core’ will be installed too if it’s not installed in the system.

~$ snap install hello-world

Now restart the system and try to download via snap.

If getting any error related to the path just follow these instructions:

After restarting the PC if Snap doesn’t work then need to edit the bash file. To do this follow the instructions.

Step 1: Edit Bash File

~$ gedit ~/.bashrc

Step 2: Add a new line and declare the path of snap

export PATH=$PATH:/snap/bin

Save the bash file.

Step 3: Execute Bash.

~$ source ~/.bashrc

Restart the system and enjoy Snap.
