Vagrant Installing Vagrant

Vagrant Installing Vagrant

Download VirtualBox and Vagrant

Create a directory for your virtual environment

mkdir vagrant_env1
cd vagrant_env1

Install your preferred box (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bit for this example):

vagrant init hashicorp/precise64

or

vagrant init
vagrant box add hashicorp/precise64

You may check this HashiCorps Atlas box catalog for more type of boxes. By the way, a "box" is a base image of an operating system. This enables you to quickly clone a virtual machine rather than starting from scratch, which would be a slow and tedious process.

Installing may take some time, but after that, you can re-use this box when you want to create another virtual environment.

Now run vagrant up:

vagrant up

To enter the virtual machine, simply SSH:

vagrant ssh
