In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Vagrant on Alpine Linux. Vagrant is a configuration management tool used to manage and provision virtual machines. We will walk you through the process of installing Vagrant on an Alpine Linux system.
Before proceeding with the installation process, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
Before the installation process, update your system's package list to the latest version:
sudo apk update
To install Vagrant on Alpine Linux, you need to first install VirtualBox, a free and open-source virtualization software. Run the following command to install VirtualBox:
sudo apk add virtualbox
After installing VirtualBox, you can now proceed to install Vagrant. You can download Vagrant from their official website, https://www.vagrantup.com/. Once you have downloaded the compressed Vagrant binary file, extract it:
tar -xzvf vagrant_*.tar.gz
Move the extracted vagrant binary to /usr/local/bin/ directory:
sudo mv vagrant /usr/local/bin/
Verify the installation by checking the version of Vagrant installed:

Vagrant has several plugins that enhance its functionality. To install a plugin, run the following command:
