Snap Package

"Snaps are containerised software packages that are simple to create and install. They auto-update and are safe to run. And because they bundle their dependencies, they work on all major Linux systems without modification." - snapcraft.io

Installation[​](#installation "Direct link to Installation")

The official ZeroTier Snap package supports amd64, arm64, armhf, s390x `ppc64el`, and i386. It's generally pretty easy to install:

sudo snap install zerotiersudo zerotier statussudo zerotier join

Channels[​](#channels "Direct link to Channels")

By default Snap will install packages from the stable channel. You can optionally install from other channels if you want a feature that hasn't made it into stable yet:

snap install zerotier --channel=latest/beta

edge, beta, and candidate will immediately track each new tagged version
stable will only track versions that have been out for some time without known issues.

Troubleshooting[​](#troubleshooting "Direct link to Troubleshooting")

If you see the following:

authtoken.secret not found or readable in /var/lib/zerotier-one (try again as root)

Try re-issuing the command with sudo. If that doesn't work try using the interactive form sudo -i and then re-attempt:

user@host$ sudo -iroot@host# zerotier statusroot@host# exituser@host$

On some Raspbian systems you may see the following:

ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libarmmem-v7l.so' from \/etc/ld.so.preload cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.

This can safely be ignored. This is unrelated to the ZeroTier snap package. See this Snapcraft forum post for more context.

Special Thanks[​](#special-thanks "Direct link to Special Thanks")

Special thanks goes to the open source community for initially developing and maintaining this package.
