Tried installing the core snap as part of the initial instructions:
(xenial)leoamaro01@localhost:~$ sudo snap install core
error: cannot communicate with server: Post http://localhost/v2/snaps/core: dial unix /run/snapd.socket: connect: no such file or directory
Then I ran systemctl status snapd.service and got this:
(xenial)leoamaro01@localhost:~$ systemctl status snapd.service
Failed to get properties: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1
Then I tried starting the service:
(xenial)leoamaro01@localhost:~$ systemctl start snapd.service
Failed to add /run/systemd/ask-password to directory watch: No such file or directory
Failed to start snapd.service: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1
See system logs and 'systemctl status snapd.service' for details.
(xenial)leoamaro01@localhost:~$ sudo service snapd start
snapd: unrecognized service
