#### Peer-to-peer encrypted message exchange

Constellation forms a network of nodes, each of which advertises a list of public keys that they are the recipient for. Each node exposes an API which allows the user to send a payload to one or more public keys. That payload will be encrypted for the public key before being transferred over the wire to the recipient node. You can think of it as a network of Mail Transfer Agents (MTAs) exchanging PGP-encrypted emails.

## Enable snaps on Debian and install constellation

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

On Debian 9 (Stretch) and newer, snap can be installed directly from the command line:

sudo snap install snapd
```
