-To utilize the Packer scripts on Parallels 18 or bellow, Parallels Virtualization SDK must be installed. The SDK can be downloaded from the [Parallels website](https://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/download/). To implement it with Packer, append the SDK path to the `PYTHONPATH` environment variable. This is achieved by adding the following line to your `.zhrc` file:
-
-```bash

 ## Usage
 
 Prior to utilizing the Packer script, you must first establish the required variables in the `variables.pkrvars.hcl` file. You can use the `variables_TEMPLATE.pkrvars.hcl` file as a template or duplicate it to `variables.local.pkrvars.hcl` and modify it accordingly. Some of these variables have default values and don't need to be set explicitly.
