packer {
  required_plugins {
    veertu-anka = {
      version = "= v4.0.0"
      source  = "github.com/veertuinc/veertu-anka"

}

Alternatively, you can use packer plugins install to manage installation of this plugin.

For use with the post-processor, it's important to use anka registry add to set your default registry on the machine building your templates/tags.

veertu-anka-vm-clone - Packer builder is able to clone existing Anka VM Templates for use with the Anka Virtualization package and the Anka Build Cloud. The builder takes a source VM name, clones it, and then runs any provisioning necessary on the new VM Template before stopping or suspending it.
veertu-anka-vm-create- Packer builder is able to create new Anka VM Templates for use with the Anka Virtualization package and the Anka Build Cloud. The builder takes the path to macOS installer .app and installs that macOS version inside of an Anka VM Template.

veertu-anka-registry-push Packer Post Processor is able to push your created Anka VM templates to the Anka Build Cloud Registry through the Anka Virtualization package.
