Overview
snapd it’s the background service that manages and maintains the snaps on a Linux system. Snaps are programs that are packaged with all their dependencies to run on all major Linux distros. Moreover, snaps run confined within a restrictive security sandbox. Therefore, they are secure. In addition, snaps get updated automatically. So we don’t need to keep checking for updates manually.

As root:
yum install -y epel-release
yum install -y snapd
systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Reboot.
Ensure that snapd is up to date. As root:
snap install core; snap refresh core
