What it does

Snap documentation ¶ Snaps are self-contained application packages that work across different Linux distributions on many different platforms, from embedded devices and desktops, to servers and the cloud. The snap daemon, snapd , handles installation, confinement, and updates, allowing developers to focus on their applications while users get a consistent experience across platforms. Snap packages and snapd solve the problem of inconsistent application packaging and deployment by providing a unified system that works the same way regardless of the underlying Linux distribution or hardware. Snaps are useful for application developers seeking a universal packaging solution, system administrators managing diverse Linux environments, IoT and embedded device makers, and organizations where security and consistent deployments are priorities. For guidance on building snaps, see the Snapcraft build-tool documentation . In this documentation ¶ First steps ¶ Get snap running and take a tour of its core features before diving deeper.
