Whenever I try to install Anbox on my Xubuntu 17.10 machine, I get the following error:
error: cannot install "anbox-installer": Post https://api.snapcraft.io/v2/snaps/refresh: dial tcp:
lookup api.snapcraft.io on [::1]:53: read udp [::1]:39062->[::1]:53: read: connection
refused

Your problem seems to be network connection issue.
And please note that Ubuntu 17.10 will EOL soon, consider to upgrade it to 18.04 LTS.
On my 18.04 LTS system I get the following:
mate@bionic:~$ snap install --classic anbox-installer
anbox-installer 1 from 'morphis' installed
mate@bionic:~$ anbox-installer
The anbox-installer is deprecated. Please find updated installation
instructions here https://github.com/anbox/anbox/blob/master/docs/install.md
For any further questions please ask on the #anbox IRC channel on the
FreeNode network or in the Anbox telegram group (https://t.me/anbox).
Visiting https://github.com/anbox/anbox/blob/master/docs/install.md gives us new installation instruction:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:morphis/anbox-support
sudo apt update
sudo apt install anbox-modules-dkms
sudo modprobe ashmem_linux
sudo modprobe binder_linux
snap install --devmode --beta anbox
Then consult official documentation about software installation or simply run anbox.appmgr.
