Installation

To run the latest stable release, use:

sudo snap install charm --classic

You’ll also almost certainly want to install Juju as well:

sudo snap install juju --classic

If you want to run the latest pre-release versions, you can use the other snap channels. For example:

sudo snap install charm --channel=edge

The available channels are: stable, candidate, beta, and edge.

Note: While charm-tools is also available on PyPI (for use as a Python dependency) and is generally kept up to date there with stable releases, the snap should always be used instead, if at all possible.
