Document use of TMPDIR required for remote plugin installation #13056

Closed nywilken closed 3 months ago

nywilken commented 3 months ago

Packer 1.11.0 requires access to a system's temporary directory for downloading and validating remote plugins installed via packer init or packer plugins install. This information is not documented and can lead to confusion for users working on systems whose TMPDIR are non-writable or non-executable (e.g CIS hardened environments).

Closes #13028
