 # Installing LXD and the command line tool
-## Ubuntu desktop and Ubuntu server

+The simplest way to get the latest version of LXD is to install the snap
+package. This will work regardless of what operating system release you have
+installed. Just check that [snap support is installed](https://snapcraft.io/docs/core/install),
+then run:
+
+    sudo snap install lxd

+It should be noted that the server certificate generation can take a long time
+if you're working on a device like the rpi2 so it might be a few minutes before
+LXD will respond to the lxc command.
