Can't find or run spotify after `snap install spotify`
Check your $PATH
variable by executing in a Terminal: echo $PATH
The output should be very similar to this:
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/usr/share/rvm/bin
You have to verify if /snap/bin
is included in this $PATH
, otherwise you have to add it manually, here is how to do it: How do I modify my PATH so that the changes are available in every Terminal session.
If this doesn't work, try deleting and installing again the snap, the required commands are:
Execute
sudo snap list
to verify if Spotify is installed.Use
sudo snap remove spotify
to delete it.Use
sudo snap install spotify
to re-install it again.
After installing it you can run the command which spotify
to see if it is recognized now.
Hope it helps, good luck!
The solution is simple. Log out and log back in again.
Same thing happened to me. It was the first time I had installed a snap app, and I expect that the $PATH
variable had changed as per other answers, but the change only takes effect after logging out and logging back in again.
Personally, I simply had to open a different Terminal window. For some reason it couldn't find it from the window I'd used to run the snap command.
