How to download and install Twilio Authy on a desktop Linux system without snap support
  • Make an install directory somewhere convenient and switch to it
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/authy
cd ~/.local/share/authy
  • Fetch the current Authy snap
wget $(wget -qO- --header Snap-Device-Series:\ 16 https://api.snapcraft.io/v2/snaps/info/authy | grep -io 'https.*/download/[a-z0-9_]*.snap')

☞ Triple-click to select the entire line, above.

  • Unpack the snap package
unsquashfs -q -f -d . *.snap
  • Remove the undeeded files
rm -r command.sh data-dir desktop-common.sh desktop-gnome-specific.sh desktop-init.sh gnome-platform lib meta/snap.yaml usr *.snap
  • Correct the paths in desktop file
sed -i "/^Exec=/s,=,=$PWD/,;s,\${SNAP},$PWD," meta/gui/authy.desktop
  • Install the desktop file, so that it is found by the desktop environment
install -Dm755 meta/gui/authy.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/authy.desktop
update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications

☞ You may need to relogin to your desktop environment before authy shows up.

To remove just delete ~/.local/share/applications/authy.desktop and the install directory (e.g. ~/.local/share/authy).
