# Vagrant and Windows Subsystem for Linux
-Windows has recently introduced a new feature called the Windows Subsystem

-Installation requires WSL, Ubuntu on Windows, and Vagrant. Read on for installation

-## Windows Subsystem for Linux and Ubuntu on Windows

-First install the Windows Subsystem for Linux, followed by Ubuntu on Windows. This guide

## Vagrant Installation
-Vagrant _must_ be installed within Ubuntu on Windows. Even though the `vagrant.exe`

-install Vagrant into the WSL, follow these steps:
+Vagrant _must_ be installed within the Linux distribution used with WSL. While
+the `vagrant.exe` executable provided by the Vagrant Windows installation is
+accessible from within the WSL, it will not function as expected.
-* Download the 64-bit Debian package from the downloads page.
-* Open a `cmd` or `powershell` window
-* Enter the command: `bash`
-* Install vagrant: `sudo dpkg -i vagrant_VERSION_x86_64.deb`
+Download the installer package for the Linux distribution from the releases
+page and install Vagrant.

# Vagrant Usage
+## Windows Access
+
+By default Vagrant will not access features available on the Windows system
+from within the WSL. This means the VirtualBox and Hyper-V providers will
+not be available. To enable Windows access, which will also enable the
+VirtualBox and Hyper-V providers, set the `VAGRANT_WSL_ENABLE_WINDOWS_ACCESS`
+environment variable:
+
+````
+$ export VAGRANT_WSL_ENABLE_WINDOWS_ACCESS="1"
+```
+
+When Windows access is enabled Vagrant will automatically adjust `VAGRANT_HOME`
+to be located on the Windows host. This is required to ensure `VAGRANT_HOME`
+is located on a DrvFs file system.
+
+## PATH modifications
+
Vagrant will detect when it is being run within the WSL and adjust how it
locates and executes third party executables. For example, when using the
VirtualBox provider Vagrant will interact with VirtualBox installed on

+## Synced Folders
+
+Support for synced folders within the WSL is implementation dependent. In
+most cases synced folders will not be supported when running Vagrant within
+WSL on a VolFs file system. Synced folder implementations must "opt-in" to
+supporting usage from VolFs file systems. To use synced folders from within
+the WSL that do not support VolFs file systems, move the Vagrant project
+directory to a DrvFs file system location (/mnt/c/ prefixed path for example).

## Windows Access
Working within the WSL provides a layer of isolation from the actual
