-## Linux Snap
-
-A Linux [Snap](https://snapcraft.io/) is available, which can be used to easily
-get Solana running on supported Linux systems without building anything from
-source for evaluation.  Note that CUDA is not supported by the Snap so
-performance will be limited.
-
-The `edge` Snap channel is updated daily with the latest
-development from the `master` branch.  To install:
-
-```bash
-$ sudo snap install solana --edge --devmode
-```
-
-Once installed the usual Solana programs will be available as `solona.*` instead
-of `solana-*`.  For example, `solana.fullnode` instead of `solana-fullnode`.
-
-Update to the latest version at any time with:
-
-```bash
-$ snap info solana
-$ sudo snap refresh solana --devmode
-```
-
-### Daemon Support
-The snap supports running fullnodes and a drone as system daemons.
-
-Run `sudo snap get solana` to view the current daemon configuration.  To view
-daemon logs:
-1. Run `sudo snap logs -n=all solana` to view the daemon initialization log
-2. Runtime logging can be found under `/var/snap/solana/current/bootstrap-leader/`,
-`/var/snap/solana/current/fullnode/`, or `/var/snap/solana/current/drone/` depending
-on which `mode=` was selected.  Within each log directory the file `current`
-contains the latest log, and the files `*.s` (if present) contain older rotated
-logs.
-
-Disable the daemon at any time by running:
-
-```bash
-$ sudo snap set solana mode=
-```
-
-Runtime configuration files for the daemon can be found in
-`/var/snap/solana/current/config`.
-
-#### Leader Daemon
-
-```bash
-$ sudo snap set solana mode=bootstrap-leader
-```
-
-`rsync` must be configured and running on the leader.
-
-1. Ensure rsync is installed with `sudo apt-get -y install rsync`
-2. Edit `/etc/rsyncd.conf` to include the following
-```ini
-[config]
-path = /var/snap/solana/current/config
-hosts allow = *
-read only = true
-```
-3. Run `sudo systemctl enable rsync; sudo systemctl start rsync`
-4. Test by running `rsync -Pzravv rsync://<ip-address-of-leader>/config
-solana-config` from another machine.  **If the leader is running on a cloud
-provider it may be necessary to configure the Firewall rules to permit ingress
-to port tcp:873, tcp:9900 and the port range udp:8000-udp:10000**
-
-
-To run both the Leader and Drone:
-
-```bash
-$ sudo snap set solana mode=bootstrap-leader+drone
-
-```
-
-#### Validator daemon
-
-```bash
-$ sudo snap set solana mode=fullnode
-
-```
-
-By default the node will attempt to connect to **testnet.solana.com**, override the
-cluster entrypoint IP address by running:
-
-```bash
-$ sudo snap set solana mode=fullnode entrypoint-ip=127.0.0.1 #<-- change IP address
-```
-
-It's assumed that the node at the entrypoint IP will be running `rsync`
-configured as described in the previous **Leader daemon** section.
