title: "Use Snap to install the Hugo edge version on Fedora and Ubuntu"

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
Snaps are [updated automatically](https://docs.snapcraft.io/keeping-snaps-up-to-date/7022). To manually update Hugo:
```
sudo snap refresh hugo
```
To remove Hugo:
```
sudo snap remove hugo
```
