Hello,
I am new to this. Sorry for a ‘dumb’ question!
I just installed KIWIX under Snap. I can see the Snap directory and the 4 Kiwix-tools in there. My problem is that I have no cue on how to run them as I usually do outside of the snap environment… If I invoke KIWIX-MANAGE, for example, I get a message stating that the command is not found. That must be a very simple thing, but I have no cue on what to do to make it work as usual.
Thanks for any help

you should find the binaries snaps ship (under ubuntu at least) in /snap/bin … take a look at that dir
also … the snap info kiwix-tools command should list the possible command names it did install …

Thanks for the fast answer. I can find the tools now. Thanks.
One more thing, if I can… I tried to delete the SNAP folder with all its content, but the file system is only accessible for reading… How can I uninstall Snap? I tried to make the folder R/W, but it doesn’t work.
Thanks again
snap remove _snap_name_
$SNAP is essentially a mount point of the snap’s SquashFS image, please use the snap command-line for managing the installed snaps.
Great! Thanks a lot!

snaps take a snapshot of your userdata on removal by default nowadays (so you can restore configs, databases etc with a single command if you install the snap again) … you rather want:
snap remove --purge <snapname>
to make sure that snapshot is not taken and all data is removed …
