Install older version of a snap

  • 772

I know updated snaps can be reverted back to a previously installed version but is it possible to install an older version of a snap in the first place?

For example, if the version of AmazingApp in the snap store is v1.3, is there a way to install v1.2?

Is there an archive?

  1. Snap Store has release channels. For example - VLC player:

    versions of VLC player

    So you can choose channel and install the respective version:

    | Channel          | Version                 |  Install command                  |  
|------------------|-------------------------|-----------------------------------|
| latest/stable    | 3.0.6                   | sudo snap install vlc             |
| latest/candidate | 3.0.6                   | sudo snap install vlc --candidate |
| latest/beta      | 3.0.6-50-g71bfa08       | sudo snap install vlc --beta      |
| latest/edge      | 4.0.0-dev-6398-g44b30c2 | sudo snap install vlc --edge      |

    For other Snaps this is completely dependent on Snap developer (which channels were created).
