  • You should have at least 35GB of disk space available.

  • Since matter source code is very big, downloading whole source can take considerable amount of time, which affects snap build time.

  • To test this snap

    • Install the snap
      • snap install chip-tool_0.1_amd64.snap --dangerous
      • snap connect chip-tool:bluez
