+In case I forget again, by default when snaps are installed it doesn't populate in the `zsh` shell. To enable this add the following to `/etc/zsh/zprofile`
+
+```bash
+emulate sh -c 'source /etc/profile.d/apps-bin-path.sh'
+```
+
+In case you don't have `apps-bin-path.sh` in `/etc/profile.d/`, then here's the file as of this date:
+
+```bash
+# shellcheck shell=sh
+
+# Expand $PATH to include the directory where snappy applications go.
+snap_bin_path="/snap/bin"
+if [ -n "${PATH##*${snap_bin_path}}" -a -n "${PATH##*${snap_bin_path}:*}" ]; then
+    export PATH=$PATH:${snap_bin_path}
+fi
+
+# Ensure base distro defaults xdg path are set if nothing filed up some
+# defaults yet.
+if [ -z "$XDG_DATA_DIRS" ]; then
+    export XDG_DATA_DIRS="/usr/local/share:/usr/share"
+fi
+
+# Desktop files (used by desktop environments within both X11 and Wayland) are
+# looked for in XDG_DATA_DIRS; make sure it includes the relevant directory for
+# snappy applications' desktop files.
+snap_xdg_path="/var/lib/snapd/desktop"
+if [ -n "${XDG_DATA_DIRS##*${snap_xdg_path}}" -a -n "${XDG_DATA_DIRS##*${snap_xdg_path}:*}" ]; then
+    export XDG_DATA_DIRS="${XDG_DATA_DIRS}:${snap_xdg_path}"
+fi
+```
