Setting up Vagrant / Virtual Box

setting-up-vagrant-virtual-box.md

Steps

1. Install vagrant

Install vagrant from https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html

2. Download virtual box

Download desired virtual box from Windows Dev. I used IE11.Win7.For.Vagrant.box

3. Create vagrant directory

Let's say we create directory vagrant-windows-ie11

$ mkdir -p vagrant-windows-ie11

Change directory to newly created directory.

$ cd vagrant-windows-ie11

4. Configure

Use below given commands to configure virtual box with vagrant -

Initialize vagrant by command,

$ vagrant init windows

$ vagrant box add ~/Downloads/IE11.Win7.For.Vagrant.box --name=windows

Replace path with your downloaded virtual box path.

Start the vagrant by command,

$ vagrant up

This will start VM with the box configured with vagrant.

Updated commands

• vagrant init windows
• vagrant box add ~/Downloads/IE11.Win7.For.Vagrant.box --name=windows (Replace path with your downloaded virtual box path)
• vagrant up
