Hello Everyone,
I am a newbie to Ubuntu. I decided to install cloud compare. Everything got installed without any err or dependency issue, in the /snap/cloudcompare. Initially I couldn't figure it out how to run this application. Then I saw binary CloudCompare inside /snap/cloudcomapre/1/bin. I changed my directory to it and used ./CloudCompare but it is throwing this error.
- error while running CC
- cc.png (19.03 KiB) Viewed 18243 times
I am not even sure is it even a right way to run CC. Kindly help me running CC on my Ubuntu.

Have you tried to simply type 'CloudCompare'?
At least you shouldn't launch it from the snap bundle!

Yes I did. CloudCompare: command not found was the issue. So obviously the PATH environment has to be appended. Which I did by adding /snap/cloudcompare/1/bin to the PATH. Should I add something else to the PATH?

In Snap, there is a namespace concept, to launch your application you have to type namespace.applicationbinary . for CC package the namespace is cloudcompare. So you you have to type cloudcompare.CloudCompare.
you can also launch CC from the Unity shell by clicking on the icon.

Thank you Roman it works. Any reference to understand this namespace concept? Now after launching the application I have locked it on my unity shell.
Best regards

Namespaces are an Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concept:

Easiest to think of a namespace as an environment in which objects can exist.

I've got the same problem, but when trying with "cloudcompare.CloudCompare", I got
bash: cloudcompare.CloudCompare: No such file or directory
I am running Linux Mint 17.2, and installation with
sudo apt install snapd
snap install cloudcompare
produces no error

Same here, ubuntu 14.04, running cloudcompare.Cloudcompare gives "command not found"
Also attempting to download the stable build with snap makes it download 2.10-beta

@augie please try to reboot your computer an try to launch CloudCompare first through the graphic shell.
