Packer Builder for Anka

This is a Packer Builder for building images that work with Veertu Anka, a macOS virtualization tool.

Note that this builder does not manage images. Once it creates an image, it is up to you to use it or delete it.

Installing from Binary

1. Install Packer
2. Install Veertu Anka
3. Download the latest release for your host environment
4. Unzip the plugin binaries to a location where Packer will detect them at run-time, such as any of the following:
   • The directory where the packer binary is.
   • The ~/.packer.d/plugins directory.
   • The current working directory.
5. Change to a directory where you have packer templates, and run as usual.
