@ -58,34 +58,6 @@ If you get an error that `packer` could not be found, then your PATH
environment variable was not setup properly. Please go back and ensure
that your PATH variable contains the directory which has Packer installed.
The `packer` binary may conflict with the cracklib-supplied packer binary
on RPM-based systems like Fedora, RHEL or CentOS. If this happens, running
`packer` will result in no output or something like this:
```text
$ packer
/usr/share/cracklib/pw_dict.pwd: Permission denied
/usr/share/cracklib/pw_dict: Permission denied
```
In this case you may wish to symlink the `packer` binary to `packer.io`
and use that instead. e.g.
```text
ln -s /usr/local/bin/packer /usr/local/bin/packer.io
```
Then replace `packer` with `packer.io` when following the rest of the
documentation.
Alternatively you could change your `$PATH` so that the right packer
binary is selected first, however this may cause issues when attempting
to change passwords in the future.
```text
export PATH="/path/to/packer/directory:$PATH"
```
Otherwise, Packer is installed and you're ready to go!
## Alternative Installation Methods
@ -97,6 +69,14 @@ are alternatives available.
If you're using OS X and [Homebrew](http://brew.sh), you can install Packer:
```text
$ brew install packer
```
$ brew install packer
## Troubleshooting
On some RedHat-based Linux distributions there is another tool named `packer` installed by default. You can check for this using `which -a packer`. If you get an error like this it indicates there is a name conflict.
$ packer
/usr/share/cracklib/pw_dict.pwd: Permission denied
/usr/share/cracklib/pw_dict: Permission denied
To fix this, you can create a symlink to packer that uses a different name like `packer.io`, or invoke the `packer` binary you want using its absolute path, e.g. `/usr/local/packer`.
