I can’t find anything about this. Will Snapcraft be available as a .snap package and be in the store eventually? If so, when?

Yes, right now. :slight_smile:

Thanks, found it now. When I tried sudo snap install snapcraft it wouldn’t work. I realized that I need to add --classic --<channel>. Wasn’t able to find it by press tab or using sudo snap find snapcraft. It that a bug?

snap find only lists snaps published to the stable channel.
