NAME

       calamares - distribution-independent system installer

SYNOPSIS

       calamares [options]

DESCRIPTION

       calamares  is  a  distribution-independent system installer, with an advanced partitioning
       feature for both manual and automated partitioning operations. It is the  first  installer
       with  an  automated  “Replace  Partition” option, which makes it easy to reuse a partition
       over and over for distribution testing.  Calamares  is  designed  to  be  customizable  by
       distribution  maintainers  without  need  for  cumbersome  patching, thanks to third party
       branding and external modules support.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              Displays this help.

       -v, --version
              Displays version information.

       -d, --debug
              Debugging mode for testing purposes. Implies -D8 and -c..

       -D <level>
              Sets logging-level. Higher numbers are more verbose.

       -c, --config <config>
              Configuration directory to use, for testing purposes.

       -X, --xdg-config
              Use XDG environment variables for file lookup.

       -T, --debug-translation
              Use translations from current directory.

FILES

       calamares reads its configuration from  many  files.   The  first  configuration  file  is
       settings.conf  which  is located in one of the configuration locations.  When started with
       -d calamares looks in the current directory for a settings file.   When  started  with  -X
       calamares  looks  in the directories specified by XDG_CONFIG_DIRS for a settings file.  If
       no settings file is found elsewhere, calamares looks in  pre-configured  directories  like
       /etc .

       The  contents  of  the  settings.conf  file  dictate  where  other configuration files are
       located, and which configuration files are used.

       The command-line arguments for calamares are  primarily  for  developers  convenience  and
       should  not be needed in nearly any situation in which calamares is deployed. Most live CD
       environments and OEM installations should have  installed  configuration  files  in  their
       correct system-wide locations.
