| 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. |
| |
| 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/``. |
