Introduction

This repository stores a Packer definitions of openSUSE Leap 42.1 for running Vagrant.

The openSUSE Leap 42.1 box can be used to create a VirtualBox instance with Vagrant to install SAP NW AS ABAP 750 SP02 Developer Edition .

All recommended system preparations will be done by packer and vagrant, as described at Installing ABAP AS on Oracle VirtualBox without the proxy part (step 11.).

The steps 20. and 21. sudo -i* and FINALLY, we run the installation, by entering the command ./install.sh must be done manually!
