I'm following the instructions here.
This happened:
sudo snap install intellij-idea-community --classic
[sudo] password for user-1099869:
error: cannot communicate with server:
Post http://localhost/v2/snaps/intellij-idea-community:
dial unix /run/snapd.socket: connect: no such file or directory
I then tried:
(xenial)user-109986@localhost:~$ systemctl status snapd.service
Failed: to get properties:
