snappy Ubuntu Core is a new way to think about an Operating System. Unlike
traditional Ubuntu, where dependencies are installed separately based on
the package under installation, snappy packages all required dependencies
within the snaps, which can than be installed in the system. It provides a
seamless application isolation environment that different applications with
conflicting dependencies can co-exist symbiotically in the system. As such,
the final snap should be directly installed on the system.

In the snappy world, there's no apt-get. If you need to use it, than please
run a docker container with ubuntu and get to the traditional debian-based
ubuntu environment.
