     6  # Packer Command-Line
     7  
     8  Packer is controlled using a command-line interface. All interaction with
     9  Packer is done via the `packer` tool. Like many other command-line tools,
    10  the `packer` tool takes a subcommand to execute, and that subcommand may
    11  have additional options as well. Subcommands are executed with
    12  `packer SUBCOMMAND`, where "SUBCOMMAND" is obviously the actual command you wish
    13  to execute.
    14  
    15  If you run `packer` by itself, help will be displayed showing all available
    16  subcommands and a brief synopsis of what they do. In addition to this, you can
    17  run any `packer` command with the `-h` flag to output more detailed help for
    18  a specific subcommand.
    19  
    20  In addition to the documentation available on the command-line, each command
    21  is documented on this website. You can find the documentation for a specific
    22  subcommand using the navigation to the left.
