Vagrant is a tool for building and distributing development environments.



Development environments managed by Vagrant can run on local virtualized

platforms such as VirtualBox or VMware, in the cloud via AWS or OpenStack,

or in containers such as with Docker or raw LXC.



Vagrant provides the framework and configuration format to create and

manage complete portable development environments. These development

environments can live on your computer or in the cloud, and are portable

between Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.



## Quick Start



Package dependencies: Vagrant requires `bsdtar` and `curl` to be available on

your system PATH to run successfully.



For the quick-start, we'll bring up a development machine on

[VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/) because it is free and works

on all major platforms. Vagrant can, however, work with almost any

system such as [OpenStack](https://www.openstack.org/), [VMware](https://www.vmware.com/), [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/), etc.



First, make sure your development machine has

[VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/)

installed. After this,

[download and install the appropriate Vagrant package for your OS](https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html).



To build your first virtual environment:



    vagrant init hashicorp/bionic64

    vagrant up



Note: The above `vagrant up` command will also trigger Vagrant to download the

`bionic64` box via the specified URL. Vagrant only does this if it detects that

the box doesn't already exist on your system.



## Getting Started Guide



To learn how to build a fully functional development environment, follow the

[getting started guide](https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/getting-started).



## Installing from Source



If you want the bleeding edge version of Vagrant, we try to keep main pretty stable

and you're welcome to give it a shot. Please review the installation page [here](https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/installation/source).



## Contributing to Vagrant



Please take time to read the [HashiCorp Community Guidelines](https://www.hashicorp.com/community-guidelines) and the [Vagrant Contributing Guide](https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant/blob/main/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md).



Then you're good to go!
