Description
> The install hook runs in confinement. Access to this file needs to be granted via a system files interface and the right plug definition for the hook (`hooks.install.plugs`). But keep in mind that manual connection is only possible after installing a snap, which is too late. The install hook of a locally built and unsigned snap on a classic Ubuntu **cannot** be granted the access before the install hook's execution. This could work on classic Ubuntu if there is an auto connection assertion for the snap, when installed from the store.
>
> On Ubuntu Core, the connection can be established before the installation, via the `connections` definition of the Gadget snap. Another alternative is via dedicated store auto connection assertions.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the install hook and the `hooks.install.plugs` definition, then compare Ubuntu Core's Gadget snap `connections` path with installation on classic Ubuntu. Confirm whether the requested pre-install access mechanism is available for a locally built and unsigned snap; done means the hook can receive the required file access before it runs.
