[SOLVED] How to run application that installed using Snapcraft

Issue

I just installed Snapcraft and then using it to install Ngrok, but unfortunately I still unable to run Ngrox from my terminal.

My Ngrok Installation

╭─yoesoff@yoesoff-ThinkPad-X220 ~/Documents/labs/hello-world  ‹master› 
╰─➤  sudo snap install ngrok                                                                                                                                         1 ↵
ngrok 2.3.27 from Khiem Doan (khiemdoan) installed

Ngrk Is Listed Now

╭─yoesoff@yoesoff-ThinkPad-X220 ~/Documents/labs/hello-world  ‹master› 
╰─➤  snap list                                                                                                                                                     127 ↵

ngrok  2.3.27   13    stable    khiemdoan   -

But It Does not Work

╭─yoesoff@yoesoff-ThinkPad-X220 ~  
╰─➤  ngrok
zsh: command not found: ngrok

My question is how to run an application that installed using snapcraft ?

Thanks you

Solution

The problem is caused by Snapcraft poor documentation I think. the only way to run the installed application by Snap should be run by Snap either. Here is how to run an application that installed using Snap:

snap run ngrok --version                                                                                                                                        
ngrok version 2.3.27

This way will not work

ngrok
zsh: command not found: ngrok

A little bit weird but I think it's better to unzip Ngrok manually instead of using this poor tool.
