+### Snap
+
+Helix is available on [Snapcraft](https://snapcraft.io/helix) and can be installed with:
+
+```sh
+snap install --classic helix
+```
+
+This will install Helix as `/snap/bin/helix` (so make sure `/snap/bin` is in your `PATH`), which is not the preferred invocation (`hx`).
+As a workaround you can manually alias the command globally with:
+
+```sh
+snap alias helix hx
+```
+
+Or, otherwise, just alias in your shell's config.
+
 ### AppImage
 
 Install Helix using the Linux [AppImage](https://appimage.org/) format.
