Where is the install location for the "snap" download tool?

In trying to download vscode from the Ubuntu software application, I ran into the following error:

Detailed errors from the package manager follow:
 snapd returned status code 400: Bad Request

After Googling this error I took the advice given by this following link:

When I try to install vscode, snapd returns error code 400

which led me to running the following command in my terminal:

snap install vscode --classic

That command worked and all, but now I can't find where and how to start vscode on my machine.

Anyone have any tips?


I added /snap/bin to $PATH. That worked for opening VS Code from the CLI.


After sudo snap install vscode --classic, I'm able to start up VS Code by searching 'code' in the Dash and clicking on the Launcher item that comes up (if this isn't working (note that it might take a while for VS Code to start up), make a topic on the issue here and tag wimpress in your post or email the address in the contact field of snap info vscode).

You can also start VS Code with snap run vscode.
