+## Snap package for Hugo

 In any of the [Linux distributions that support snaps](http://snapcraft.io/docs/core/install):

-    $ snap install hugo

+    snap install hugo

+

+> Note: Hugo-as-a-snap can write only inside the user’s `$HOME` directory—and gvfs-mounted directories owned by the user—because of Snaps’ confinement and security model.

+> More information is also available [in this related GitHub issue](https://github.com/spf13/hugo/issues/3143).
