#### Snap runtime environment

Base snaps are a specific type of snap that include libraries and dependencies common to many applications. They provide a consistent and reliable execution environment for the snap packages that use them.

The core22 base snap provides a runtime environment based on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish).

Other Ubuntu environment base snaps include:

* Core 18: <https://snapcraft.io/core18>
* Core 20: <https://snapcraft.io/core20>
* Core 24: <https://snapcraft.io/core24>

**Using a base snap**

Base snaps are installed automatically when a snap package requires them. Only one of each type of base snap is ever installed.

Manually removing a base snap may affect the stability of your system.

**Building snaps with core22**

Snap developers can use this base in their own snaps by adding the following to the snap's snapcraft.yaml:

```
 base: core22
```

**Additional Information**\*
