$ sudo snap install ipfs
```
The snap sets `IPFS_PATH` to `SNAP_USER_COMMON`, which is usually `~/snap/ipfs/common`. If you want to use `~/.ipfs` instead, you can bind-mount it to `~/snap/ipfs/common` like this:
```sudo mount --bind ~/.ipfs ~/snap/ipfs/common```
If you want something more sophisticated to escape the snap confinement, we recommend using a different method to install `go-ipfs` so that it is not subject to snap confinement.
