This thread was flagged by a community member who thought it looked like spam. It was a mistake, and I shall moan at them privately.

Thanks a lot it’s very useful.
I tried it to install Rambox on my ChromeBox.
Everything was ok until the end but…sorry noob question…how do I launch Rambox after successful install ?
I can see it in snapd files installed.
