RViz is a 3D visualizer for the Robot Operating System 2 (ROS 2).
This is a classic snap: RViz2 runs with full access to the host system so it
load visualization plugins and message definitions installed on the host under /opt/ros/ROS_DISTRO or
in a local workspace.
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, an app store with an audience of millions.
