Cannot communicate with server

Support Snap/Flatpak
1

installed snapd with pacman, entered the command sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket and sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
I want to test snap with the command

sudo snap install hello-world

and here is such an error

error: cannot communicate with server: Post “http://localhost/v2/snaps/hello-world”: dial unix /run/snapd.socket: connect: no such file or directory

here is what sudo systemctl status --now snapd.socket shows

First, you install existing packages as a user, not with use of sudo.
Second, hello and world are not snap packages that exist. You most likely are looking for hello-world
snap install hello-world
I suggest you to go trough the https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Snap wiki one more time …

sorry, this is a typo, I wrote hello-world

I read the wiki and did everything according to the instructions, but unfortunately everything is exactly the same

You can try to go by first unmask the snapd.service:

systemctl unmask snapd.service

Enable it:

systemctl enable snapd.service

Start it:

systemctl start snapd.service

and then test again … maybe using the debug mode

SNAP_CONFINE_DEBUG=yes hello-world
