Installation - VMware Provider vmware-installation

Installation

The VMware provider is installed using standard plugin installation procedures. 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 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.

If there are problems installing the plugin, please contact support.
