### Snappy
**Attention:** *The Snap package currently does **not run on Wayland** as the Snap sandbox does not allow Peek to access any available screen recording capabilities (see [issue #245](https://github.com/phw/peek/issues/245)). Please use X11 instead or use one of the other installation options such as Flatpak, PPA, AppImage or from source.*

Peek can be installed on all distributions supporting [snappy](https://snapcraft.io/docs/core/install).
To install, either install the GNOME content snap (gnome-3-26-1604) and the Peek snap from your software center (if the software center supports snappy) or install via command line:

sudo snap install gnome-3-26-1604
sudo snap install peek

Once installed you can run Peek via its application icon in your desktop
environment or from command line:

snap run peek

In case it fails to start with the message `You need to connect this snap to the gnome platform snap`
do the following command via command-line:

sudo snap connect peek:gnome-3-26-1604 gnome-3-26-1604:gnome-3-26-1604

Snaps should automatically update in the background. If this is not happening
you can update Peek manually to the latest version:

sudo snap refresh peek

To test the latest development version install Peek from the edge channel:

sudo snap install peek --edge
Peek no longer has officially supported Snap packages, see
[the announcement](https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/870bcn/snap_support_for_peek_screen_recorder_discontinued/).
Please consider using the Flatpak or AppImage versions or use the Ubuntu PPA
if you are using Ubuntu.

### AppImage
