# Invoke-PackerBuildVbVm

A PowerShell 7+ script which invokes packer build using a packer JSON file with a virtualbox-iso builder to create a local VirtualBox virtual machine.

# Getting Started

## Installation

To install, drop the entire Invoke-PackerBuildVbVm folder into one of your PowerShell 7 (or later) module directories. The default PowerShell module paths are listed in the **$Env:PSModulePath** environment variable.

## Requires

* [PowerShell 7+ Core](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/install/installing-powershell?view=powershell-7)

* [VirtualBox (6.1.12 or higher)](https://www.virtualbox.org/)

* [Packer](https://www.packer.io/)

Packer and VirtualBox are both installed and in your System PATH.

## Usage

Refer to the comment-based help in the module script for detailed usage information or see [Invoke-PackerBuildVbVm.md](./docs/Invoke-PackerBuildVbVm.md)

# Notes

This has only been tested on PowerShell 7 Core on Windows 10 2004. Your mileage may vary if using this with PowerShell 5.1 or PowerShell 6 (Core) and/or other OSes.
