# Packer Plugin Chef

The `Chef` multi-component plugin can be used with HashiCorp [Packer](https://www.packer.io)

to create custom images. For the full list of available features for this plugin see [docs](docs).

## Installation

### Using pre-built releases

#### Using the `packer init` command

Starting from version 1.7, Packer supports a new `packer init` command allowing

automatic installation of Packer plugins. Read the

[Packer documentation](https://www.packer.io/docs/commands/init) for more information.

To install this plugin, copy and paste this code into your Packer configuration .

Then, run [`packer init`](https://www.packer.io/docs/commands/init).

```hcl

packer {

  required_plugins {

    chef = {

      version = ">= 1.0.0"

      source  = "github.com/hashicorp/chef"

    }

  }

}

```

#### Manual installation

You can find pre-built binary releases of the plugin [here](https://github.com/hashicorp/packer-plugin-chef/releases).

Once you have downloaded the latest archive corresponding to your target OS,

uncompress it to retrieve the plugin binary file corresponding to your platform.

To install the plugin, please follow the Packer documentation on

[installing a plugin](https://www.packer.io/docs/extending/plugins/#installing-plugins).

locally and run the command `go build` from the root

directory. Upon successful compilation, a `packer-plugin-chef` plugin

binary file can be found in the root directory.
