I'm a registered moneydance user but when I got a new laptop and tried to install via snap i get:
malcom@malcom-HP-Laptop-14s-dq0xxx:~$ sudo snap install moneydance --beta
moneydance (beta) 2019.0.0.1814 from The Infinite Kind (infinitekind) installed
malcom@malcom-HP-Laptop-14s-dq0xxx:~$

   Hi Mal

   I am no Linux expert but I am running Moneydance on Mint, Feren OS and Ubuntu

   This is the process I use:
   Downloaded moneydance_linux_amd64.deb
   If not installed, install “GDebi Package Installer” in terminal

   sudo apt install gdebi

   1. In FILES app highlight moneydance_linux_amd64.deb - right click - if OPEN WITH GDebi Package Installer is not listed highlight PROPERTIES and select OPEN WITH tab – set GDebi Package Installer as default application – close window. This step is a one-time setup. Skip this step the next build of Moneydance you install.
      
   2. To install Moneydance simple double click on moneydance_linux_amd64.deb to start the installer.
      
   3. The Package installer window opens and after a delay fills in with Moneydance info. Click INSTALL or REINSTALL PACKAGE whichever is present.
      
   4. In the AUTHENTICATION REQUIRED window enter you Ubuntu password.
      
   5. After a delay the Moneydance should install. If you get the Status message in the installer Same version is already installed ignore this. Close the installer. The Moneydance icon should appear in the tray. If not check under “Show Application” icon in tray, make Moneydance a favourite.
      

   Hope this helps.

   The Moneydance snap is very out of date, the 2019 version I believe (which seems to be supported by your terminal output). I reported this to our developers a while ago, but evidently they have had issues removing or updating it. It's unclear to me what you have installed now, but it's much better to install the version of Moneydance directly from our website: https://infinitekind.com/downloads
