I've installed Tomcat 9 by snap install, it is working fine. But now I'm starting a course that begins installing Tomcat 8 and recommends to install it by apt-get, not snap. I want to do that to match version and kind of install with the course. My question is, can I install Tomcat 8 by apt-get without conflict with Tomcat 9 snap install existing and use one or the other when I prefer?

    Does this answer your question? [If a package is available as both a deb and a snap, which method is preferrable?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1029610/if-a-package-is-available-as-both-a-deb-and-a-snap-which-method-is-preferrable) – N0rbert Mar 27 '20 at 09:55
  • @N0rbert not exactly. I ask about possible conflicts when a server is installed twice by both ways. – Plàcid Masvidal Mar 27 '20 at 10:06
  • "and recommends to install it by apt-get, not snap" so skip that part :P – Rinzwind Mar 27 '20 at 10:47

You can do that without any problems. Snaps come with all needed dependencies included in the snap-package and do not interfere with deb-packages managed by apt.

The icons of the applications might look same, so in the first moment after installation you'll have to find out, which icon starts which application.
