snapcraft

snapcraft is an open-source developer tool for packaging, distributing, and updating applications for Linux and IoT devices. It is intended for developers who need to prepare applications as installable snap packages. The software is designed for the Linux platform and belongs to the Developer Tools category.

Snaps are containerised software packages that are simple to create and install. They bundle an application’s dependencies, allowing the package to work across all major Linux systems without modification. Snaps also update automatically and are safe to run.

MirrorNest distributes the official snapcraft build by mirroring it directly to its own storage. Each mirrored build is scanned for malware before it is published, providing a checked distribution path for Linux users downloading the tool.
