The oracle-linux-image-tools project will only run on Linux, there quite some dependencies, in particular when sealing and packaging the image.

Even so putting a fixed path of /usr/bin rather than using whichever version of packer is first in the user's path is probably wrong.

The problem is that there is an unrelated packer tool installed by default on Linux.
As we know that Hashicorp's packer is installed in /usr/bin, it is much more predictable to use the full path rather than relying on the user's path.
