# NAME

	distrobox-init

# DESCRIPTION

**Init the distrobox (not to be launched manually)**

distrobox-init is the entrypoint of a created distrobox.
Note that this HAS to run from inside a distrobox, will not work if you run it
from your host.

**This is not intended to be used manually, but instead used by distrobox-create
to set up the container's entrypoint.**

distrobox-init will take care of installing missing dependencies (eg. sudo), set
up the user and groups, mount directories from the host to ensure the tight
integration.
