+If you are using the Fedora or Ubuntu Linux distributions -- I'm currently on Fedora 28 -- and would like to [help test the latest development version of Hugo](https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/help-test-upcoming-hugo-0-50/14880), or if you just want to be on the bleeding-edge of things, this post is for you. 
+
+## Fedora-only steps
+
+To get started, [install Snap on Fedora](https://docs.snapcraft.io/installing-snap-on-fedora/6755):
+
+```
+sudo dnf install snapd
+```
+
+Add the [Snap directory](https://docs.snapcraft.io/commands-and-aliases/3950) to your `PATH` by adding this line to your `~/.bashrc` file. Then restart your terminal to pick up the change: 
+
+```
+export PATH="$PATH:/var/lib/snapd/snap/bin"
+```
+
+## Ubuntu-only steps
+
+Ubuntu 16.04 and above come with [Snap already installed](https://docs.snapcraft.io/installing-snap-on-ubuntu/6740). If you're using an older Ubuntu version, install Snap by running:
+
+```
+sudo apt update && sudo apt install snapd
+```
+
+Check if the Snap directory is on your `PATH` by listing each entry:
+
+```
+echo $PATH | tr ':' '\n'
+```
+
+If you don't see `/snap/bin` listed, then add this line to your `~/.bashrc` file. Then restart your terminal to pick up the change: 
+
+```
+export PATH="$PATH:/snap/bin"
+```
+
+## Install Hugo
+
+See which Snap channels are available for Hugo:
+
+```
+snap info hugo
+```
+
+Install Hugo from the edge channel:
+
+```
+sudo snap install hugo --channel=edge
+```
+
+Or, if you prefer Hugo Extended -- which has the [Hugo Pipes](https://gohugo.io/hugo-pipes/) feature -- install it from the extended edge channel:
+
+```
+sudo snap install hugo --channel=extended/edge
+```
+
+Lastly, confirm the location and version of Hugo that was intalled:
+
+```
+which hugo && hugo version
+```
+
+Happy testing :)
+
+## Update or remove Hugo
+
+To update Hugo:
+
+```
+sudo snap refresh hugo
+```
+
+To remove Hugo:
+
+```
+sudo snap remove hugo
+```
