 Axiom CLI version 1.0.0
 ```
 
+### Install using [Snap](https://snapcraft.io)
+
+```shell
+sudo snap install axiom
+```
+
+To send all system logs to Axiom:
+
+```shell
+# Allow Axiom to access system logs
+sudo snap connect axiom:log-observe
+
+# Configure the background service
+sudo snap set axiom journald-dataset=DATASET journald-url=URL journald-token=TOKEN
+```
