Debian Buster has snapd 2.37.4, How to update

snapd

I am playing a bit with a Chromebook and while running Linux on it, it seems that snaps do work, but not all snaps work (like docker) as they require a new version of snapd.

How do I update snapd on Debian Buster, would it be safe to just grab the packages from a later version of debian and install it

You can just do snap install core, snapd will re-exec to the version of “snapd the daemon” from the core snap

That worked, thanks. I was able to install docker, now getting it to run
