Installing Vagrant on Apple Silicon Macs (M1, M1X, etc)
Raw
NOTES.md

VirtualBox only supports the x86 platform, so the default installation instructions for Vagrant does not work on Apple silicon. Thankfully Vagrant has a VMWare Provider (more on providers here), and so if I can get VMWare running on my M1 MacBook, I should be able to run Vagrant as well!

These are my notes during figuring this out.

Get the VMWare Tech Preview released in September 2021!

We are in luck, as VMWare released this just a few weeks ago.
