.. code-block:: bash
spm <command> [<argument>]
spm is the frontend command for managing Salt packages. Packages normally only
include formulas, meaning a group of SLS files that install into the
file_roots on the Salt Master, but Salt modules can also be installed.
.. program:: spm
.. option:: -y, --assume-yes
Assume ``yes`` instead of prompting the other whether or not to proceed
with a particular command. Default is False.
.. option:: -f, --force
When presented with a course of action that spm would normally refuse to
perform, that action will be performed anyway. This is often destructive,
and should be used with caution.
