Introduction
An Ubuntu Snap package, or just Snap is a distribution format similar to AppImage in that it is intended to be a "universal installable package" to deploy software in Linux systems. Snaps were introduced by Ubuntu but they are intended to run in all Linux distributions as long as the Snap daemon, or snapd, is available in the target system.
The intention is that programs installed from a Snap are sandboxed so they do not interfere with the rest of your operating system, and moreover they can be updated automatically to get the latest features.
For other ways of installing the software, see Installing and Install on Linux.
Installation
As of v0.19 the use of Snaps is experimental. The current Snaps are generated and hosted by volunteers.
To install one version of the Snap use:
snap install --edge freecad-ppd
