Have you looked at the man page for snap? It's very long, so I took
a guess and looked for "run".
Thank you; right at the beginning of the man page it says:
> The snap command lets you install, configure, refresh and remove snaps
so I didn't think it would be relevant to running a package that was already
installed.
run
Run the given snap command
I read that and think: "but I don't want to run a snap command; I want to run
an installed snap package".
The run command executes the given snap command with the right confinement
and environment.
Usage: snap [OPTIONS] run [run-OPTIONS] <NAME-OF-SNAP>.<NAME-OF-APP> [<SNAP-APP-ARG>...]
When I try the run command:
$ snap run acrordrdc
unknown command: run
$
I was amazed that I simply couldn't find anything about actually running
installed packages (plenty of sites tell me how to install a package, but none
that I looked at then told me how to run the package once it's installed). It
can't be hard, but obviously I'm misunderstanding something fundamental about
snap.
