     5    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.

    11  Packer is done via the `packer` tool. Like many other command-line tools,
    12  the `packer` tool takes a subcommand to execute, and that subcommand may

    17  If you run `packer` by itself, help will be displayed showing all available
    18  subcommands and a brief synopsis of what they do. In addition to this, you can
    19  run any `packer` command with the `-h` flag to output more detailed help for
    20  a specific subcommand.

    22  In addition to the documentation available on the command-line, each command
    23  is documented on this website. You can find the documentation for a specific
    24  subcommand using the navigation to the left.
