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.
