   * if not possible to install as ''stable'' install with ''devmode'' to be able to read files...or something
   * it appears Snap apps can't even see certain directories like ''/tmp'' and ''/home''. Symlinks don't fix the problem. Instead the files need to be copied somewhere else, such as ''/var/tmp''
+==== workaround for snap not able to access outside of /home ====
+  * Mount the directory inside home. Example with ''/tmp'':
+<code>
+mkdir /home/you/tmp
+sudo mount --bind /tmp /home/you/tmp/
+</code>
+  * make permanent by editing ''/etc/fstab'':
+<code>
+# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
+/tmp        /home/you/tmp   auto    bind    0   3

+<code>
+sudo update-initramfs -u -k all
