I have read some tutorials about Snapcraft and snappy and I am really excited about it.

I am using 16.04 and used snap find to find and install the ubuntu-calculator-app snap. But I don't know how to start it.

It is neither in my Dash (Unity 7) nor in my path (using zsh)

Also, I followed the instructions in this blog post

To create a links snap and install it. But, again, I don't know how to start the app.

Thanks for your help

Just log out and log back in. If you are upgrading from an earlier version of 16.04 development release you will not have /snap/bin in your PATH environment variable.

Great. If you can point me where in the documentation is that path it would be great. – Alejandro Vera Apr 20 '16 at 16:51
    
append PATH=$PATH:/snap/bin to end of ~/.bashrc file. – noobninja Nov 5 '16 at 6:00
    
Logging out and in didn't do it for me. I had to manually add /snap/bin to my PATH in my .bashrc file. – Marnix A. van Ammers Sep 14 '17 at 20:17

Essentially, as Zygmunt was saying. For completeness, the other alternative is to run the app from the command line:

ubuntu-calculator-app.calculator

Check out the documentation on how to get started with snaps on classic Ubuntu.
