Our Snapcraft Reference section is for when you need to know which plugins we offer, which interfaces you can use, and what you can add to snapcraft.yaml.
| Reference | How Snapcraft works |
|---|---|
| Snapcraft.yaml reference | Every snapcraft.yaml keyword listed, described and defined |
| Supported plugins | All currently supported language, platform, and toolkit plugins |
| Parts environment variables | Variables that can be used within a part’s build environment |
Alternatively, the Snapcraft tutorials section contains step-by-step tutorials to help outline what Snapcraft is capable of while helping you achieve specific aims, such as installing Snapcraft and building your first snap.
If you have a specific goal, but are already familiar with Snapcraft, our How-to guides have more in-depth detail than our tutorials and can be applied to a broader set of applications. They’ll help you achieve an end-result but may require you to understand and adapt the steps to fit your specific requirements.
Finally, for a better understanding of how Snapcraft works, and how it can be used and configured, our Explanation section enables you to expand your knowledge and become better at building snaps with Snapcraft.
