Using the Snapcraft packaging tool for snappy and the snapcraft.yaml file you can now build an fswebcam snap and install on any OS with snappy installed. See http://snapcraft.io/ for more details on snappy. The current snapcraft.yaml will only work in devmode which is much more permissive than strict mode. A version using strict mode will follow soon. Steps: $ sudo apt install snapcraft $ git clone git@github.com:philroche/fswebcam.git $ snapcraft $ snapcraft install fswebcam_0_amd64.snap --devmode $ /snap/bin/fswebcam photo.jpg
To use strict mode you must connect the camera interface manually. See steps below for usage. Steps to use: $ snapcraft $ snap install fswebcam_1_amd64.snap --devmode $ sudo snap connect fswebcam:camera ubuntu-core:camera $ /snap/bin/fswebcam photo.jpg

snapcraft.yaml added for producing snap of fswebcam
Using the Snapcraft packaging tool for snappy and the snapcraft.yaml file you can
now build an fswebcam snap and install on any OS with snappy installed.
See http://snapcraft.io/ for more details on snappy.
I have pushed the resulting snap to the snap store - https://myapps.developer.ubuntu.com/dev/click-apps/5794/ . I am currently the owner of that snap but I am happy to transfer to you.
Steps to install from store:
$ sudo snap login %YOURLAUNCHPADUSERSEMAILADDRESS%
$ snap install fswebcam
$ sudo snap connect fswebcam:camera ubuntu-core:camera
Steps to build and install from local:
$ sudo apt install snapcraft
$ git clone git@github.com:philroche/fswebcam.git
$ git checkout snap
$ snapcraft
$ snapcraft install fswebcam_0_amd64.snap --devmode
$ /snap/bin/fswebcam photo.jpg
