snap help install
Usage:
snap install [install-OPTIONS] ...
The install command installs the named snaps on the system.
To install multiple instances of the same snap, append an underscore and a
unique identifier (for each instance) to a snap's name.
Parallel instances are installed with --unaliased passed implicitly to avoid
conflicts with existing installs. This behaviour can be altered by passing
--prefer which will enable all aliases of the given snap in preference to
conflicting aliases of other snaps whose automatic aliases will be disabled and
manual aliases will be removed.
With no further options, the snaps are installed tracking the stable channel,
with strict security confinement. All available channels of a snap are listed in
its 'snap info' output.
When --revision is used, a later refresh will typically undo the revision
override, taking the snap back to the current revision of the channel it's
tracking.
Use --name to set the instance name when installing from snap file.
