  • Download and verify an operating system image for various cloud, virtualization, or bare metal platforms (coreos-installer download)
  • List Fedora CoreOS images available for download (coreos-installer list-stream)
  • Embed an Ignition config in a live ISO image to customize the running system that boots from it (coreos-installer iso ignition)
  • Wrap an Ignition config in an initrd image that can be appended to the live PXE initramfs to customize the running system that boots from it (coreos-installer pxe ignition)

The options available for each subcommand are available in the Command Line Reference or via the --help option.
