# Installation
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The VMware provider is installed using
|
|
|
|
|
[standard plugin installation procedures](/v2/plugins/usage.html).
|
|
|
|
|
In addition to installing the plugin, a license must be provided so that
|
|
|
|
|
it can be loaded properly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To purchase a license, visit the [Vagrant VMware provider](http://www.vagrantup.com/vmware)
|
|
|
|
|
page. After purchasing a license, a link to download it will be emailed
|
|
|
|
|
to you. Download this file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installing the plugin and license is easy using the `vagrant plugin`
|
|
|
|
|
interface. Both steps are shown below. Note that the plugin name is different
|
|
|
|
|
depending on the provider you're using. If you're using the Fusion provider,
|
|
|
|
|
it is `vagrant-vmware-fusion`. If you're using the Workstation provider,
|
|
|
|
|
it is `vagrant-vmware-workstation`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-vmware-fusion
|
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
|
$ vagrant plugin license vagrant-vmware-fusion license.lic
|
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For licensing, the first parameter is the name of the plugin, which is
|
|
|
|
|
`vagrant-vmware-fusion` for the VMware Fusion provider, or `vagrant-vmware-workstation`
|
|
|
|
|
for the VMware Workstation provider. The second parameter is the path to the license itself.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can verify the license is properly installed by running any
|
|
|
|
|
Vagrant command, such as `vagrant plugin list`. The VMware
|
|
|
|
|
provider will show an error message if you are missing a license or using an
|
|
|
|
|
invalid license.
