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  aReplace  Partitiona  option,
     which  makes  it  easy  to reuse a partition over and over for distribution
     testing. Calamares is designed to be customizable by distribution maintain-
     ers 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 loca-
     tions.  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.

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

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