'multipass' command not found: this command is necessary to build in this environment.
Install 'multipass' or if already installed, ensure it is on the system PATH, and try again.

I think this should be:

$ uname -s
Darwin
$ snapcraft
You need multipass installed to build snaps on MacOS for Linux. Get it here:
https://github.com/CanonicalLtd/multipass/releases

$ uname -s
Linux
grep -qs '^base:' snap/snapcraft.yaml; echo $?
1
$ snapcraft
You need multipass installed to build snaps which use the base keyword.
Would you like to install it now? [Y/n]
