## Synopsis

`ncs-project command [OPTIONS]`

## Description

This command is used to invoke one of the NCS project commands.

An NCS project is a complete running NCS installation. It can contain all the needed packages and the config data that is required to run the system.

The NCS project is described in a project-meta-data.xml file according to the `tailf-ncs-project.yang` Yang model. By using the ncs-project commands, the complete project can be populated. This can be used for encapsulating NCS demos or even a full blown turn-key system.

The *OPTIONS* are forwarded to the the invoked script verbatim.
