108+### Snap
109+
110+Helix is available on [Snapcraft](https://snapcraft.io/helix) and can be installed with:
111+
112+```sh
113+snap install --classic helix
114+```
115+
116+This will install Helix as `/snap/bin/helix` (so make sure `/snap/bin` is in your `PATH`), which is not the preferred invocation (`hx`).
117+As a workaround you can manually alias the command globally with:
118+
119+```sh
120+snap alias helix hx
121+```
122+
123+Or, otherwise, just alias in your shell's config.
