This repository provides the Snap package for the ASIMOV Platform

Prerequisites

• A Linux distribution with Snap support.
• Snapd installed and enabled.
• wget (for downloading the .snap file).

Download

The Snap package will be downloaded into the asimov directory inside the home folder (~/asimov).

# Create and navigate to the download directory
mkdir -p ~/asimov && cd ~/asimov

# Detect architecture
ARCH="$(uname -m)"

# Detect libc (musl or glibc)
if ldd --version 2>&1 | grep -qi musl; then
  LIBC="musl"
else
  LIBC="gnu"
fi

# Map to the correct snap name
case "$ARCH-$LIBC" in
  x86_64-gnu)
    SNAP_NAME="asimov-x86-gnu.snap"
    ;;
  x86_64-musl)
    SNAP_NAME="asimov-x86-musl.snap"
    ;;
  aarch64-gnu)
    SNAP_NAME="asimov-arm-gnu.snap"
    ;;
  aarch64-musl)
    SNAP_NAME="asimov-arm-musl.snap"
    ;;

    echo "❌ Unsupported architecture or libc: $ARCH-$LIBC"
    exit 1
    ;;
esac

# Download the snap file from the latest release
wget "https://github.com/asimov-platform/asimov-packaging/releases/latest/download/$SNAP_NAME" -O asimov-cli.snap

Installation

Once the download is complete, install the Snap package locally in classic mode using:

sudo snap install --dangerous --classic ~/asimov/asimov-cli.snap

Update

To update the ASIMOV CLI Snap package to the latest version, follow these steps:

1. Download the latest .snap package

   Run the same commands from the Download section to re-download the newest version of the Snap package. This will overwrite the previously downloaded file (~/asimov/asimov-cli.snap).

2. Reinstall the Snap package

   First, remove the existing version, then install the freshly downloaded one:

   sudo snap remove asimov
   sudo snap install --dangerous --classic ~/asimov/asimov-cli.snap

Usage

After installation, you can run the CLI with:

asimov --help

To check the installed version:

asimov --version

Troubleshooting

If the Snap does not run as expected, check the logs:

snap logs asimov-cli

Ensure that Snap is installed and enabled on your system:

snap version
