I have read some tutorials about Snapcraft and snappy and I am really excited about it.

I am using 16.04 and used snap find to find and install the ubuntu-calculator-app snap. But I don't know how to start it.

It is neither in my Dash (Unity 7) nor in my path (using zsh)

Also, I followed the instructions in this blog post

To create a links snap and install it. But, again, I don't know how to start the app.

Thanks for your help

Just log out and log back in. If you are upgrading from an earlier version of 16.04 development release you will not have /snap/bin in your PATH environment variable.

Essentially, as Zygmunt was saying. For completeness, the other alternative is to run the app from the command line:

ubuntu-calculator-app.calculator
