I'm having trouble starting Vagrant with Virtual box. The code I enter into a blank project folder on the command line is:
vagrant init tsawler/wafs; vagrant up --provider virtualbox
In response I get the following message:
C:\Users\Owner\PhpstormProjects\modernphptut>vagrant init tsawler/wafs; vagrant up --provider virtualbox
An invalid option was specified. The help for this command
is available below.
Usage: vagrant init [options] [name [url]]
Options:
--box-version VERSION Version of the box to add
-f, --force Overwrite existing Vagrantfile
-m, --minimal Create minimal Vagrantfile (no help comments)
--output FILE Output path for the box. '-' for stdout
-h, --help Print this help
I am copying the command line text exactly as shown on this page: https://atlas.hashicorp.com/tsawler/boxes/wafs
This is my first attempt using Vagrant/virtual machines. Anyone know why it's not working? I installed Vagrant and Virtualbox just today on my Windows 10 machine so I have the most recent versions.
This is a multiple line command and this
vagrant init tsawler/wafs; vagrant up --provider virtualbox
works well in linux or mac os but does not work for windows.
For windows you should run as
vagrant init tsawler/wafs & vagrant up --provider virtualbox
Or you can also run the commands one by one
C:\Users\Owner\PhpstormProjects\modernphptut>vagrant init tsawler/wafs
.....
C:\Users\Owner\PhpstormProjects\modernphptut>vagrant up --provider virtualbox

I am trying to install in on my laptop while running on Windows 8. I have downloaded and installed vagrant and Virtualbox and currently am trying to download vagrant box using
vagrant init tsawler/wafs; vagrant up --provider virtualbox
and i get this error,
C:\Users\patrick\Documents\website>vagrant init tsawler/wafs; vagrant up --provider virtualbox
An invalid option was specified. The help for this command is available below.

s)
--output FILE Output path for the box. '-' for stdout
-h, --help Print this help
I have tried to add the -f or --force option after the init but still get the same result. Is there a setting that missing?
Sometimes, multiple commands on the same line may not get parsed correctly, and running them separately usually works. Try these.
C:\Users\patrick\Documents\website>vagrant init tsawler/wafs C:\Users\patrick\Documents\website>vagrant up

I have installed Git, VirtualBox and Vargant on my Windows 10 computer.
Have problems with starting Vargant using git-bash console.
When I do vargant init - this create vargant file and looks like it's ok.
Alex#DESKTOP MINGW64 /d/shell
$ vagrant init hashicorp/precise32
A `Vagrantfile` has been placed in this directory. You are now
ready to `vagrant up` your first virtual environment! Please read
the comments in the Vagrantfile as well as documentation on
`vagrantup.com` for more information on using Vagrant.
But when I try to start vagrant with vagrant up command I receive error.
Alex#DESKTOP MINGW64 /d/shell
$ vagrant up
bash: vagrant: command not found
I have tried restarting, reinstalling these software, installing latest or previouse versions of software - nothing helps - still bash: vagrant: command not found.
What shell I do next to solve the problem?
the command / program name is vagrant , not vargant. You spell it correctly in the init, but the rest of your examples have it spelled incorrect. Try running vagrant up and you should be all set.
I just downloaded virtualbox, installed centos and development tools.
I also installed vagrant and installed it, in windows 7.
It says in the vagrant page, you can install vagrant in virtualbox using
$ vagrant init hashicorp/precise32
$ vagrant up
But, I am getting vagrant command not found Are they supposed to be installed inside one another? because, if I download/install them separately, I don't know how my virtualbox could even understand the vagrant command.
Vagrant and VirtualBox are entirely separate. Vagrant uses VirtualBox by calling VBoxManage commands. Both vagrant and vboxmanage binaries need to be on your system PATH variable.
In Windows you can check and adjust the PATH as shown here: http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm
I am trying to set up a a vagrant laravel homestead box. I have both vagrant and virtualbox installed on my Xubuntu 14.04 machine. To do this I'm running the following command
user#home: $ vagrant box add laravel/homestead
Then I get the following error
This command was not invoked properly. The help for this command is
available below.
Usage: vagrant box add <name> <url> [--provider provider] [-h]
I'm doing this exactly how the laravel and vagrant documentation shows. Why is this not working? Do I need a url?
Your syntax is correct for versions 1.5+.
If you older Vagrant you need go to https://vagrantcloud.com/<BOX_NAME>/versions and copy the full link to the latest active version of you box. (<BOX_NAME> in your case is laravel/homestead)
Then you can download like this:
vagrant box add 'laravel/homestead' https://vagrantcloud.com/laravel/homestead/version/9/provider/virtualbox.box --provider virtualbox
However I strongly advice to update your Vagrant for the latest one.
I've installed Vagrant and VirtualBox to simulate Hadoop management (Apache Ambari). According to its installing documentation, i've done everything to create a vm (with 'vagrant up' command). I've installed manually lucid32 box file and placed it to the directory but it still says:
There are errors in the configuration of this machine. Please fix
the following errors and try again:
vm:
* The box 'lucid32' could not be found.
What am i doing wrong?
I was able to get a box up using the latest install following this process.
# From your home directory, install the template box
vagrant box add lucid32 http://files.vagrantup.com/lucid32.box
# From your project directory
vagrant init lucid32
vagrant up
Using Apache Ambari:
# clone from GitHub
git clone https://github.com/u39kun/ambari-vagrant.git

vagrant up
There was a problem with the configuration of Vagrant. The error message(s)
are printed below:
vm:
* The box 'hashicorp/precise64' could not be found.
For me, this was a simple matter of using too old a version of vagrant (version 1.0.1).
Download the latest from: https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html
And then:
$ sudo dpkg -i vagrant_1.8.5_x86_64.deb
