# Local Shell Provisioner
|
|
|
|
Type: `shell-local`
|
|
|
|
The local shell provisioner executes a local shell script on the machine running
|
|
Packer. The [remote shell](/docs/provisioners/shell.html) provisioner executes
|
|
shell scripts on a remote machine.
|
|
|
|
## Basic Example
|
|
|
|
The example below is fully functional.
|
|
|
|
``` json
|
|
{
|
|
"type": "shell-local",
|
|
"command": "echo foo"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Configuration Reference
|
|
|
|
The reference of available configuration options is listed below. The only
|
|
required element is "command".
|
|
|
|
Required:
|
|
|
|
- `command` (string) - The command to execute. This will be executed within
|
|
the context of a shell as specified by `execute_command`.
|
|
|
|
Optional parameters:
|
|
|
|
- `execute_command` (array of strings) - The command to use to execute
|
|
the script. By default this is `["/bin/sh", "-c", "{{.Command}}"]`. The value
|
|
is an array of arguments executed directly by the OS. The value of this is
|
|
treated as [configuration
|
|
template](/docs/templates/engine.html). The only available
|
|
variable is `Command` which is the command to execute.
