NAME
       calamares - distribution-independent system installer

SYNOPSIS
       calamares [options]

DESCRIPTION
       calamares  is  a	distribution-independent system	installer, with	an ad-
       vanced partitioning feature for both manual and automated  partitioning
       operations.  It is the first installer with an automated	Replace	Parti-
       tion option, which makes	it easy	to reuse a partition over and over for
       distribution testing. Calamares is designed to be customizable by  dis-
       tribution  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  configu-
       ration  file is settings.conf which is located in one of	the configura-
       tion 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 configura-
       tion files are located, and which configuration files are used.

SEE ALSO
       The calamares website: https://calamares.io .

       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.
