You are missing part of the instructions from http://snapcraft.io/

"Important: on Fedora 24 you currently have to switch SELinux to permissive mode. This restriction will be lifted later. Please edit /etc/selinux/config and change the file to contain SELINUX=permissive. After this change you have to reboot your system.

BTW, all of the packaging is open to contributions. I would like the packages to mature in COPR so that they can be submitted to Fedora properly.
