Snap not working on ubuntu 16.04

I am use Ubuntu 16.04. I see on snap's home page that it installed as default on Ubuntu 16.04. But when I run any command with snap, I can't take any result includes :

snap --version

Please help me.

Solution 1:

Open the terminal and type:

sudo apt update  
sudo apt upgrade
sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq snapd
sudo snap install core  
snap find vlc

Results of snap --version on Ubuntu 16.04 with an updated Linux kernel installed:

:~$ snap --version
snap    2.31.2
snapd   2.31.2
series  16
ubuntu  16.04
kernel  4.4.0-119-generic

Solution 2:

The short answer here is you didn't have snapd installed. Run this:

sudo apt-get install snapd

then close/reopen terminal. Try snap --version again and it should now work.
