How to install dbt-core /dbt-snowflake inside linux vm ?

## The context of why I’m trying to do this

## What I’ve already tried

## Some example code or error messages

Put code inside backticks
  to preserve indentation
    which is especially important

Thank you all for response, I was able to install dbt-snowflake in linux virtual machine. Need to use pip install dbt-snowflake and need to create .dbt folder(this was missing, which caused error).
