+### Installation from Snap Package
+Running the command below will install the latest release of noVNC from Snap:
+
+`sudo snap install novnc`
+
+#### Running noVNC
+
+You can run the Snap-package installed novnc directly with, for example:
+
+`novnc --listen 6081 --vnc localhost:5901 # /snap/bin/novnc if /snap/bin is not in your PATH`
+
+#### Running as a Service (Daemon)
+The Snap package also has the capability to run a 'novnc' service which can be 
+configured to listen on multiple ports connecting to multiple VNC servers 
+(effectively a service runing multiple instances of novnc).
+Instructions (with example values):
+
+List current services (out-of-box this will be blank):
+
+```
+sudo snap get novnc services
+Key             Value
+services.n6080  {...}
+services.n6081  {...}
+```
+
+Create a new service that listens on port 6082 and connects to the VNC server 
+running on port 5902 on localhost:
+
+`sudo snap set novnc services.n6082.listen=6082 services.n6082.vnc=localhost:5902`
+
+(Any services you define with 'snap set' will be automatically started)
+Note that the name of the service, 'n6082' in this example, can be anything 
+as long as it doesn't start with a number or contain spaces/special characters.
+
+View the configuration of the service just created:
+
+```
+sudo snap get novnc services.n6082
+Key                    Value
+services.n6082.listen  6082
+services.n6082.vnc     localhost:5902
+```
+
+Disable a service (note that because of a limitation in  Snap it's currently not 
+possible to unset config variables, setting them to blank values is the way 
+to disable a service):
+
+`sudo snap set novnc services.n6082.listen='' services.n6082.vnc=''`
+
+(Any services you set to blank with 'snap set' like this will be automatically stopped)
+
+Verify that the service is disabled (blank values):
+
+```
+sudo snap get novnc services.n6082
+Key                    Value
+services.n6082.listen  
+services.n6082.vnc
