# Up And SSH
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is time to boot your first guest machine. Run the following:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
$ vagrant up
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In less than a minute, this command will finish and you'll have a
|
|
|
|
virtual machine running Ubuntu. You won't actually _see_ anything though,
|
|
|
|
since Vagrant runs the virtual machine without a UI. To prove that it is
|
|
|
|
running, you can SSH into the machine:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
$ vagrant ssh
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This command will drop you into a full-fledged SSH session. Go ahead and
|
|
|
|
interact with the machine and do whatever you want. Although it may be tempting,
|
|
|
|
be careful about `rm -rf /`, since Vagrant shares a directory at `/vagrant`
|
|
|
|
with the directory on the host containing your Vagrantfile, and this can
|
|
|
|
delete all those files. Shared folders will be covered in the next section.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Take a moment to think what just happened: With just one line of configuration
|
|
|
|
and one command in your terminal, we brought up a fully functional, SSH accessible
|
|
|
|
virtual machine. Cool.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you're done fiddling around with the machine, run `vagrant destroy`
|
|
|
|
back on your host machine, and Vagrant will remove all traces of the
|
|
|
|
virtual machine.
