I infer from this page that sudo privileges *are* required to install new snaps... https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/snappy > e.g. if I asked our university admin to install snapcraft, it still wouldn't help us (or other teachers), because they don't have sudo priviledges. > (And although an exception can be added from snapcraft, I am not sure whether the installation process itself is sandboxed.) > Is this correct? I guess your main issue has been running 32-bit Pharo on 64-bit Linux requiring sudo privileges to install 32-bit libs. In learning more about snapcraft I discovered AppImage which would seem to suit your case. It packages application lib dependencies into a compressed CD filesystem you downloaded and run without installation. * http://askubuntu.com/questions/866511/differences-between-snaps-appimage-flatpak-and-others * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppImage * http://appimage.org/ * https://github.com/probonopd/AppImageKit/blob/master/README.md * https://plus.google.com/+LinusTorvalds/posts/WyrATKUnmrS Even for 64-bit Pharo, AppImage could remain a good packing option for a case where university machines might not all have SDL libs installed. cheers -ben > > Thanks, > Peter > > >> >> Alistair, >> - thanks for the typo.
