Introduction

If you are working on a Mac or Windows you will need a Linux VM. Vagrant is one easy way to get a Linux VM quickly.

Install Virtualbox or VMWare

The default configuration supports VMWare and VirtualBox. You will need to install *one* of them.

VirtualBox is free. You can download and install VirtualBox from here.

VMWare runs faster than VirtualBox, but requires purchase. You can acquire VMWare Fusion (Mac) or VMWare Workstation (Windows)

VMware runs faster than VirtualBox. To use VMware you will need to obtain a VMware plugin for Vagrant. You can learn more about support for VMware from the Vagrant documentation: https://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/vmware/.

Install Vagrant software.

Install the Vagrant software: https://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/installation/index.html

Install vagrant-cachier

Optional: To cache apt/yum (for faster Vagrant VM rebuild), install vagrant-cachier.

At the unix command line run:

$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-cachier
