It is described here https://packer.io/docs/extending/plugins.html#installing-plugins

But why do you need to install plugins? Most plugins you need is included in the main distribution.

I already did that packer build on another mac there I got. Now they
gave me an old mac book pro. I made the same setting but now the build
fail every time. I include the json build. Should I change something.
Also this is the packer version:

ar-it05200:~ federico.montaldo$ packer version

Packer v1.3.2

ar-it05200:~ federico.montaldo$

Thanks in advance

Federico

Can you show the command you use to run and maybe run with PACKER_LOG=1 and post the full log.

The virtualbox seems to fail for some reason and You don't have Hyper-V nor VMware Fusion. Exerything seems like you cloud expect. Have you troubleshooted what happened with the virtualbox vm that times out?
