How it works…

The package manager installs the package with all of its dependencies and makes the relevant commands available for use.

Starting with Snap 2.20, you can install Snapcraft packages with relaxed security boundaries using the --classic switch. Snaps usually run in a sandboxed environment, meaning that they are separated from the host, so to speak. However, PowerShell, being a shell, needs access to all of the host resources so that it can function as desired, hence the --classic install. Also note that this is not supported on systems such as Ubuntu Core.
