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