Packages

The provided debian packages are automated builds from snapos github actions.

Debian

The packages snapclient_<version>_without_pulse_<arch>.deb are built without pulse audio player backend support (i.e. do not support --player pulse) and thus don't require the PulseAudio dependencies, recommended for headless, non-desktop systems.

Windows

There is no installer provided, the contained package vc_redist.exe must be installed to run snapclient.exe. The dll files must be located in your PATH or in the same directory with snapclient.exe.
