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 the actual command you wish to execute.

# 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 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.
