@apigban sorry you're running into trouble here, and thank you for the sample build configuration. I am unable to reproduce this issue. I've run into issues in the past on Centos where the packer command I was running was not the packer tool but some other command (sorry I can't find info on it at the moment). When you run packer version what information do you get? Can you share the path where the Packer tool is installed which packer?

If you haven't already I would recommend downloading the latest version of Packer and try running your script against it

@apigban here's a link to the other packer command I mentioned in my previous comment https://linux.die.net/man/1/packer. Running packer help or packer version should help clarify that you are using the correct packer tool.

> packer help
Usage: packer [--version] [--help] <command> [<args>]

Available commands are:
    build       build image(s) from template
    console     creates a console for testing variable interpolation
    fix         fixes templates from old versions of packer
    inspect     see components of a template
    validate    check that a template is valid
    version     Prints the Packer version

Thanks! I just used an alias, packer.io, and now it was working.
