# Install Snap on OpenMandriva

OpenMandriva supplies `snapd` in its repositories. It takes two steps to get it going:

1. Install `snapd`:

```bash
sudo dnf install snapd
```

1. Enable `snapd`:

```bash
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd

Do you need to enable snapd.apparmor.service? that's the service responsible for re-loading snap-specific apparmor profiles after reboot.

I'm not sure. Enabling/starting snapd without apparmor works fine. I don't use apparmor, so I tested this in a VM and learned that OpenMandriva's AppArmor package is broken, because it includes a file that conflicts with a core package:

Package                        Arch    Version                        Repository                 Size
Installing:
 apparmor                      znver1  0:4.0.3-10                     cooker-znver1-extra     2.5 MiB

Transaction Summary:
 Installing:         1 package

Total size of inbound packages is 799 KiB. Need to download 799 KiB.
After this operation, 3 MiB extra will be used (install 3 MiB, remove 0 B).

I'm trying to get that straightened out in their Matrix chat. But for now, the answer to your question is no, you don't need to enable the apparmor service by default, because OpenMandriva doesn't install/use apparmor by default (though it's in the repos). I guess it was my mistake to see apparmor in OpenMandriva's repositories, assume it was working, and follow the pattern I saw in your docs for other distros.

Just a small update; I went ahead and fixed the package, then I built it on their ABF, and now Apparmor installs on OpenMandriva.

We need additional instructions for getting Apparmor to actually start on OpenMandriva, because though support is compiled into the kernel, it's apparently not enabled on the boot line in Grub. Do you want me to add all that, or would it be more appropriate to point to Apparmor docs for that sort of thing?

```

## Confinement

AppArmor is not installed by default on OpenMandriva. It takes the same two steps to install and enable it:

1. Install:

```bash
sudo dnf install apparmor
```

1. Enable:

```bash
sudo systemctl enable apparmor
```

Enjoy!
