 ### How to maintain a minimal layout
 
 Use the **verify** and **fix** commands to maintain your minimal layout after it's created. The **verify** command determines if there are any corrupt or missing packages in the minimal layout. If you encounter any problems after running the **verify** command, use the **fix** command to correct those missing or corrupt packages.
