This section of our documentation contains step-by-step tutorials to help outline what snap is capable of while helping you achieve specific aims, such as installing your favourite applications, taking a data snapshot, removing snaps or reinstalling the snap daemon (snapd).
We hope our tutorials make as few assumptions as possible and are accessible to everyone. They should also be a good place to start learning about snap, how it works and what it’s capable of.
