     3      Packer is controlled using a command-line interface. All interaction with Packer
     4      is done via the `packer` tool. Like many other command-line tools, the `packer`
     5      tool takes a subcommand to execute, and that subcommand may have additional
     6      options as well. Subcommands are executed with `packer SUBCOMMAND`, where
     7      "SUBCOMMAND" is the actual command you wish to execute.

    14  Packer is controlled using a command-line interface. All interaction with Packer
    15  is done via the `packer` tool. Like many other command-line tools, the `packer`
    16  tool takes a subcommand to execute, and that subcommand may have additional

    18  "SUBCOMMAND" is the actual command you wish to execute.

    20  If you run `packer` by itself, help will be displayed showing all available
    21  subcommands and a brief synopsis of what they do. In addition to this, you can
    22  run any `packer` command with the `-h` flag to output more detailed help for a
    23  specific subcommand.
    24  
    25  In addition to the documentation available on the command-line, each command is
    26  documented on this website. You can find the documentation for a specific
    27  subcommand using the navigation to the left.
