In this video I show you how to install Snaps on Linux Mint.

In case you're unfamiliar, Linux Mint blocks the installation of snapd (the package that manages Snaps), because Snap is quite controversial in the Linux community (and I explain why in this video). This video shows you how to unblock snapd installation and install snapd. I also show you how to use it on Linux Mint.

Commands to install snapd:
sudo rm /etc/apt/preferences.d/nosnap.pref
sudo apt install snapd

Instant use:
Search for Snap: Instant Search [search query (if there are spaces here, you'll need to put quotes around it. Sorry, forgot to mention that in this video)] (example: Spotify Instant Search)
Install a Snap: sudo snap install [snap name (there should be no spaces here. Sorry, forgot to mention it in this video)] (example: sudo snap install spotify)
Delete a Snap: sudo snap delete [snap name (there should be no spaces here. Sorry, forgot to mention it in this video)] (example: sudo snap remove spotify)
