### Install binary distribution via snap (Linux only)

Gaia can be installed on various GNU/Linux distributions from the [Snapcraft.io](https://snapcraft.io/gaia) store:

```bash
$ sudo snap install gaia
```

Development builds are available through the `edge` channel:

```bash
$ sudo snap install --edge gaia
```

::: tip
At the time of writing, only the following [architectures are supported](https://build.snapcraft.io/user/cosmos/cosmos-sdk): `amd64` `i386` `arm64` `armhf` `ppc64el` `s390x`.
:::

`snap` installs Gaia binaries as `gaia.gaiad` and `gaia.gaiacli`. It is recommended to create commands aliases for the user's convenience once the package is installed:

```
$ sudo snap alias gaia.gaiad gaiad
$ sudo snap alias gaia.gaiacli gaiacli
```

::: warning
Note that the binaries provided by the snap package save their data into **$HOME/snap/gaia/** instead of **$HOME**.
:::

Please refer to [Snap documentation](https://docs.snapcraft.io/installing-snapd/6735) for specific information on how to install `snap` on your distribution.
**Do not use snap at this time to install the binaries for production until we have a reproduceable binary system.**
