| Installation via Snap |
| ===================== |
| |
| .. highlight:: sh |
| |
| Apache CouchDB provides 'convenience binary' Snap builds through the |
| Ubuntu snapcraft repository under the name ``couchdb``. Only snaps built |
| from official stable CouchDB releases (``2.0``, ``2.1``, etc.) are available |
| through this channel. There are separate snap channels for each major |
| release stream, e.g. ``2.x``, ``3.x``, as well as a ``latest`` stream. |
| |
| After `installing snapd`_, the CouchDB snap can be installed via:: |
| |
| $ sudo snap install couchdb |
| |
| CouchDB will be installed at ``/snap/couchdb``. Data will be stored at |
| ``/var/snap/couchdb/``. |
| |
| **Your installation is not complete. Be sure to complete the** |
| :ref:`Setup <setup>` **steps for a single node or clustered installation.** |
| |
| Further details on the snap build process are available in our |
| `couchdb-pkg git repository`_. |
