Having some trouble with snap for installing Heroku. Never used it before, usually use pip. Here's what happens:
(legal_subs_3.6) (xenial)amessios@localhost:~$ sudo snap install heroku --classic
error: cannot communicate with server: Post http://localhost/v2/snaps/heroku: dial unix /run/snapd.socket: connect: no such file or directory
(legal_subs_3.6) (xenial)amessios@localhost:~$ snap find heroku
error: cannot list snaps: cannot communicate with server: Get http://localhost/v2/find?q=heroku&scope=wide: dial unix /run/snapd.socket: connect: no such file or directory
I've been through the fixes/checks I can find so far online to no avail:
(legal_subs_3.6) (xenial)amessios@localhost:~$ snap --version
snap 2.39.2ubuntu0.2
snapd unavailable

Any ideas?
