Please describe your problem:

Hi guys, so I´ve tried to install anbox as it was described in the wiki. However, this is what i got in response.
snap install --edge --devmode anbox
error: cannot communicate with server: Post http://localhost/v2/snaps/anbox: dial unix /run/snapd.socket: connect: no such file or directory

I am running Ubuntu 16.04.03 LTS on my chromebook with crouton (Xenial, Xfce). I imagine the problem lies with snap (hope that someone around here still might be able to help me :)
This is what "snap --version" shows me
snap 2.29.4.2
snapd unavailable
series -

Anyway, thanks in advance!

What were you expecting?:

Did some more digging, perhaps this helps with the solution
entered in terminal: systemctl status snapd
Failed to get properties: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1

Restarting seemed to help me .
sudo systemctl restart snapd.service
