I upgraded from 14.04.x to 16.04 (64 bit) over the weekend. OMGubuntu! just had a post about how notes could be installed as a snap.
Ctrl+Alt+T and then
sudo snap install notesthen enter my password..
sudo: snap: command not foundWhat is up? What am I missing? I don't want to miss out on this new snap fun.

The following worked on my system:
sudo apt-get install snapd
sudo snap install notesI needed to log out and then back in for Dash to find 'Notes':
Note: There is currently some confusion with another Xenial package called snap which gives: 'location of genes from DNA sequence with hidden markov model'. If you get dpkg errors to do with this package when installing snapd (in particular overwriting of commonly named man pages) run the following:
sudo apt-get purge snapAnd then you should be right to go :)
The application 'Notes' was perhaps a little underwhelming, other packages look a little more promising:
