Install Packer

This simple GitHub Action installs Packer on the runner.

- name: virtualization support
  uses: gbraad-actions/setup-virtualization@v2

- name: install packer
  uses: gbraad-actions/install-packer@v1

Note

Ubuntu only. It is recommended to use the setup-virtualization action before installing Packer. And run packer after a session reload or using sudo to ensure the user is in the qemu group, otherwise Packer may not be able to use KVM and will run unaccelerated.
