For more information, see the part of the getting started guide -on “[Why Vagrant?](http://vagrantup.com/v1/docs/getting-started/why.html)” +Vagrant provides the framework and configuration format to create and +manage complete portable development environments. These development +environments can live on your computer or in the cloud, and are portable +between Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. ## Quick Start First, make sure your development machine has [VirtualBox](http://www.virtualbox.org) -installed. After this, [download the appropriate Vagrant package for your OS](http://downloads.vagrantup.com) and install that. If you're not on Mac OS X or Windows, you'll need +installed. After this, [download and install the appropriate Vagrant package for your OS](http://downloads.vagrantup.com). If you're not on Mac OS X or Windows, you'll need to add `/opt/vagrant/bin` to your `PATH`. After this, you're ready to go! To build your first virtual environment: - vagrant init lucid32 http://files.vagrantup.com/lucid32.box + vagrant init precise32 http://files.vagrantup.com/precise32.box vagrant up Note: The above `vagrant up` command will also trigger Vagrant to download the -`lucid32` box via the specified URL. Vagrant only does this if it detects that +`precise32` box via the specified URL. Vagrant only does this if it detects that the box doesn't already exist on your system. ## Getting Started Guide
