## More advanced setup
If you want to install programs independently from a general configuration file, the following setup might be for you.
If you want to install programs independently from a general configuration file, the following setup might be for you. An advanced quickstart can be found at the [ecarlson94/dotbot-template Wiki](https://github.com/ecarlson94/dotbot-template/wiki/Dotfiles-Repository).
### Configurations
Write a configuration file for each program and put them together in a directory:

#### `install-standalone`

```
Now you should be able to install a profile with
```
```bash
./install-profile <profile> [<configs...>]
```
and single configurations with
```
```bash
./install-standalone <configs...>
```
You can also invoke a single configuration as a sudoer by adding `-sudo` to the end of a configuration
```bash
./install-standalone some-config-sudo some-other-config
```
In the last example, the `some-config` config will be run with elevated privileges, but `some-other-config` will not.
The above prevent passing command-line arguments like `-v` and `-q` to the Dotbot invocation. If you want to use command-line options in conjunction with the above, you can add parsing of command-line options as described in [#87](https://github.com/anishathalye/dotbot/issues/87#issue-146431889).
