porter install

Create a new installation of a bundle

Synopsis

Create a new installation of a bundle.

The first argument is the name of the installation to create. This defaults to the name of the bundle.

Once a bundle has been successfully installed, the install action cannot be repeated. This is a precaution to avoid accidentally overwriting an existing installation. If you need to re-run install, which is common when authoring a bundle, you can use the –force flag to by-pass this check.

Porter uses the docker driver as the default runtime for executing a bundle image, but an alternate driver may be supplied via ‘–driver/-d’ or the PORTER_RUNTIME_DRIVER environment variable. For example, the ‘debug’ driver may be specified, which simply logs the info given to it and then exits.

The docker driver runs the bundle container using the local Docker host. To use a remote Docker host, set the following environment variables: DOCKER_HOST (required) DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY (optional) DOCKER_CERT_PATH (optional)
