Before we proceed with the installation of GNU Emacs, it is essential to update and upgrade the system to ensure that all packages are up to date. Run the following command to update the system:

Once snapd is installed, we can now proceed with the installation of GNU Emacs. Run the following command to install GNU Emacs:

sudo snap install emacs --classic

The --classic flag allows the snap to access host resources such as hardware ports and system files.

Step 4: Verify the Installation

After the installation is complete, you can verify whether the installation was successful by running the following command:

emacs --version

This should display the GNU Emacs version installed on your system.
