# Packer Command-Line
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Packer is controlled using a command-line interface. All interaction with
|
||
|
|
Packer is done via the `packer` tool. Like many other command-line tools,
|
||
|
|
the `packer` tool takes a subcommand to execute, and that subcommand may
|
||
|
|
have additional options as well. Subcommands are executed with
|
||
|
|
`packer SUBCOMMAND`, where "SUBCOMMAND" is obviously the actual command you wish
|
||
|
|
to execute.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you run `packer` by itself, help will be displayed showing all available
|
||
|
|
subcommands and a brief synopsis of what they do. In addition to this, you can
|
||
|
|
run any `packer` command with the `-h` flag to output more detailed help for
|
||
|
|
a specific subcommand.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In addition to the documentation available on the command-line, each command
|
||
|
|
is documented on this website. You can find the documentation for a specific
|
||
|
|
subcommand using the navigation to the left.
