Enable snaps on openSUSE and install ros2-cli

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.

Enable snapd

Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.

You need first add the snappy repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.

Tumbleweed: 

sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy

Leap 15.x: 

sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy

If needed, Swap out openSUSE_Leap_15. for, openSUSE_Leap_16.0 if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.

With the repository added, import its GPG key: 

sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh

Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new snappy repository: 

sudo zypper dup --from snappy

Snap can now be installed with the following: 

sudo zypper install snapd

You then need to either reboot, logout/login or source /etc/profile to have /snap/bin added to PATH. Additionally, enable and start both the snapd and the snapd.apparmor services with the following commands: 

sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor

Install ros2-cli
