Vagrant is an automation tool that can be used to create reproducible development environments. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Vagrant on Windows 11.
Before installing Vagrant, make sure your system meets the following requirements:
Vagrant requires a virtualization provider to run virtual machines. In this tutorial, we will be using VirtualBox as the provider. You can download the latest version of VirtualBox from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads.
After downloading, run the VirtualBox installer and follow the instructions to install it.
To verify that Vagrant has been successfully installed on your system, open a command prompt and run the following command:
vagrant --version
If Vagrant is installed correctly, the version number will be displayed on the screen.
Now that Vagrant is installed, you can use it to create and manage virtual machines. To get started, you should create a new project directory and initialize it with Vagrant by running the following command in the project directory:
vagrant init
This will create a new Vagrantfile in the directory that you can use to configure your virtual machine.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Vagrant on Windows 11. By following these steps, you should now have Vagrant and VirtualBox installed and ready to use for your development projects.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
