  bitrix-env package – is a full-fledged BitrixVA Virtual Appliance. It is suitable for any Bitrix24 product deployment: necessary service packages are downloaded, server settings are created depending on the equipment configuration, as well as /home/bitrix/www/ default site directory is created with required scripts and configuration files to select the deployed Bitrix24 products.
