# Example InSpec Profile
This example shows the use of InSpec [profile](../../docs/profiles.rst) inheritance.
## Verify a profile
InSpec ships with built-in features to verify a profile structure.
```bash
$ inspec check examples/inheritance
```
## Execute a profile
To run a profile on a local machine use `inspec exec /path/to/profile`. All dependencies are automatically resolved.
```bash
$ inspec exec examples/inheritance
```
## Set attributes for dependent profiles
Without setting attributes, an `inspec exec` would return the following:
```
$ inspec git:(master) ✗ b inspec exec examples/inheritance
Profile: InSpec example inheritance (inheritance)
Version: 1.0.0
Target: local://

(compared using ==)
should eq
✖ "secret"
expected: "secret"
got: nil
(compared using ==)
Test Summary: 3 successful, 2 failures, 1 skipped
```
To pass in attributes, just call:
```
$ inspec exec examples/inheritance --attrs examples/profile-attribute.yml
```
