How do I install snap using the terminal?

I would like this questions answer to be as comprehensive as possible.

This is a very specific question, its not a duplicate!

I want to have an answer page that addresses installations on "all" versions of Ubuntu (a list of which can be found here)

The purpose of this question is so that anyone that types the question above and forgets to add the version number will be directed to a response that covers all versions of Ubuntu.

I want the answer to address whether the person asking can(or can't) install snap on their version of Ubuntu, and if they can, the answer should provide terminal commands that they can copy and paste to achieve the intent of installing snap on their particular system.

If you want more information, just ask!

  • What do you mean by "ways other than installing via the terminal?" And why is the question so broad? The complete, authoritative instructions for installing snap in Ubuntu are at docs.snapcraft.io/core/install-ubuntu ...what more do you need?

  • Its not broad, it covers two things "snap" being installed on "Ubuntu", and is a one stop shop for people that ask that question conveniently in one place!
