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. diff --git a/website/source/layouts/docs.erb b/website/source/layouts/docs.erb index a2c0cabe5..a898bbe22 100644 --- a/website/source/layouts/docs.erb +++ b/website/source/layouts/docs.erb @@ -31,7 +31,7 @@
