snap install --help
Usage:
snap install [install-OPTIONS] <snap>...
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.
With no further options, the snaps are installed tracking the stable channel,
with strict security confinement.
Revision choice via the --revision override requires the user to
have developer access to the snap, either directly or through the
store's collaboration feature, and to be logged in (see 'snap help login').
Note that a later refresh will typically undo a 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.
[install command options]
--color=[auto|never|always] Use a little bit of color to highlight some things. (default: auto)
--unicode=[auto|never|always] Use a little bit of Unicode to improve legibility. (default: auto)
--no-wait Do not wait for the operation to finish but just print the change id.

--edge Install from the edge channel
--beta Install from the beta channel
--candidate Install from the candidate channel
--stable Install from the stable channel
--devmode Put snap in development mode and disable security confinement

--revision= Install the given revision of a snap, to which you must have developer access

and could be dangerous (--devmode implies this)

--name= Install the snap file under the given instance name
