1. Create a directory, move the downloaded snapcraft.yaml file into the new directory and navigate there:

   mkdir ~/test-super-cool-app-{name} && mv ~/Downloads/snapcraft.yaml ~/test-super-cool-app-{name} && cd  ~/test-super-cool-app-{name}

2. Run snapcraft:

   snapcraft

Whilst we do encourage testing your snaps, it is not required for this tutorial. If you wish you can skip this section and move on to the next step.

1. Create a Linux virtual machine for testing snaps:

   multipass launch -n testvm

2. Return to the directory containing the .snap file and copy it into the virtual machine:

   multipass copy-files test-super-cool-app-{name}*.snap testvm:

3. Connect to the virtual machine:

   multipass shell testvm

4. Install the snap inside the virtual machine:

   sudo snap install --dangerous test-super-cool-app-{name}*.snap

5. Confirm the snap is installed by listing your installed snaps:

   snap list

6. Run the snap inside the virtual machine:

   test-super-cool-app-{name} -h

7. Exit the virtual machine:

   exit
