# Usage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The VMware providers are used just like any other provider. Please
|
|
|
|
|
read the general [basic usage](/v2/providers/basic_usage.html) page for
|
|
|
|
|
providers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The value to use for the `--provider` flag is `vmware_fusion` for VMware
|
|
|
|
|
Fusion, and `vmware_workstation` for VMware Workstation.
|
|
|
|
|

|
To get started, a 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 LTS VMware box is available at:
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64_vmware.box">http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64_vmware.box</a>
|

<div class="alert alert-info">

|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
<strong>Note:</strong> At some point in the future, the providers
|
|
|
|
|
will probably be merged into a single `vagrant-vmware` plugin. For now,
|
|
|
|
|
the Workstation and Fusion codebases are different enough that they
|
|
|
|
|
are separate plugins.
