Lucas Bajolet	24430e27be	docs: reorganise plugin installation docs ... The current documentation about installing plugins does not explain (outside of the `packer init' section) how Packer discovers plugins, what the expected file system hierarchy should be, and the quirk of how this takes precedence over the rest when `required_plugins' is specified. This commit addresses that by reorganising the page to highlight general usage questions on sources and plugins, and simplifies the tabs below to only highlight installation methods.	2 years ago
Lucas Bajolet	35d20c25b9	docs: rm implicit github urls from install guide ... This section is redundant with the explanations given above, and can therefore be removed from the docs.	2 years ago
Lucas Bajolet	aad03ba12b	docs: reorg plugins installation tabs ... In order to better document packer plugins installation methods, and since `packer plugins install' is not really manual, we split in two sections the "manual installation". As this is legacy, we stop documenting how to install single-component plugins, and reword the documentation for manually installing a plugin.	2 years ago
akkuman	0e3de18e98	fix: revise env var PACKER_PLUGIN_PATH ... ref: https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/pull/8616/files#diff-0e426a43248661127a0c0ee115aef7a1093b635f8993b3f7ebb1dd9f05b8f249R153	3 years ago
Wilken Rivera	9c85fc274a	Update plugin loading documentation (#12485) ... Packer checks a number of directories for plugins upon initialization, with the introduction of multi-component plugins and underlying changes to the Packer SDK the ordering changed slightly. These changes update the related documentation to reflect the new ordering, and adds a plugin loading ordering section to the docs to help users discover how plugin loading works. Include in this change are updates to the PACKER_CONFIG_DIR environment variables to reflect the XDG base directory specification used as the default Packer configuration directory layout. * Update website/content/docs/configure.mdx	3 years ago
