This is the Snap Packaging for Java-based CloudCoin Wallet Desktop App.

Why to package the app with Snapcraft?

• Snaps are easy to discover and install Millions of users can browse and install snaps graphically in the Snap Store or from the command-line.
• Snaps install and run the same across Linux They bundle the exact version of whatever is required, along with all of your app’s dependencies, be they Java modules or system libraries.
• Snaps automatically update to the latest version Four times a day, users’ systems will check for new versions and upgrade in the background.
• Upgrades are not disruptive Because upgrades are not in-place, users can keep your app open as it’s upgraded in the background.
• Upgrades are safe If your app fails to upgrade, users automatically roll back to the previous revision.

Install

Go to Release page to download the snap file that we built.

Then, run the following command to install it.

sudo snap install cloudcoinwallet_2.1.18_amd64.snap --devmode

NOTE:

You need to finish the snapd installation on your Linux desktop first if not found snap command.

Rebuild (optional)

To create a snap, you need to finish the installation of the Snapcraft, the snap-building tool.

Since my Mint Linux desktop isn't supporting for the Snapcraft so I used Docker for Snapcraft.

Build snapcraft image

$ docker build -t snapcraft:core18 .

Build snap app

$ docker run -v "$PWD":/build -w /build snapcraft:core18 snapcraft
