# Usage

|
|
|
The Vagrant VMware provider is used just like any other provider. Please
|
2016-01-19 18:08:53 +00:00
|
|
|
read the general [basic usage](/docs/providers/basic_usage.html) page for
|
2013-09-03 18:08:28 +00:00
|
|
|
providers.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
The value to use for the `--provider` flag is `vmware_desktop`. For compatibility
|
|
|
|
|
with older versions of the plugin, `vmware_fusion` can be used for VMware
|
2013-09-03 18:08:28 +00:00
|
|
|
Fusion, and `vmware_workstation` for VMware Workstation.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
The Vagrant VMware provider does not support parallel execution at this time.
|
2014-10-17 15:21:48 +00:00
|
|
|
Specifying the `--parallel` option will have no effect.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
To get started, create a new `Vagrantfile` that points to a VMware box:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
|
|
|
# vagrant init hashicorp/precise64
|
2016-02-02 14:43:28 +00:00
|
|
|
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
|
2015-02-02 16:07:41 +00:00
|
|
|
config.vm.box = "hashicorp/precise64"
|
|
|
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
2018-02-20 19:56:40 +00:00
|
|
|
Then run:
|
2015-02-02 16:07:41 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
2018-02-20 19:56:40 +00:00
|
|
|
$ vagrant up --provider vmware_desktop
|
2015-02-02 16:07:41 +00:00
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will download and bring up a new VMware Fusion/Workstation virtual machine
|
|
|
|
|
in Vagrant.
