|
Vagrant is a tool for building and distributing development environments.
|
|
|
|
Development environments managed by Vagrant can run on local virtualized
|
|
platforms such as VirtualBox or VMware, in the cloud via AWS or OpenStack,
|
|
or in containers such as with Docker or raw LXC.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
For the quick-start, we'll bring up a development machine on
|
|
[VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/) because it is free and works
|
|
on all major platforms. Vagrant can, however, work with almost any
|
|
system such as [OpenStack](https://www.openstack.org/), [VMware](https://www.vmware.com/), [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/), etc.
|
|
|
|
First, make sure your development machine has
|
|
[VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/)
|
|
installed. After this,
|
|
[download and install the appropriate Vagrant package for your OS](https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html).
|
|
|
|
To build your first virtual environment:
|
|
|
|
vagrant init hashicorp/precise32
|
|
vagrant up
|
|
|
|
Note: The above `vagrant up` command will also trigger Vagrant to download the
|
|
`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
|
|
|
|
To learn how to build a fully functional development environment, follow the
|
|
[getting started guide](https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/getting-started/index.html).
|
|
|
|
## Installing the Gem from Git
|
|
|
|
If you want the bleeding edge version of Vagrant, we try to keep master pretty stable
|
|
and you're welcome to give it a shot. Please review the installation page [here](https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/installation/source.html).
|
|
|
|
## Contributing to Vagrant
|
|
|
|
To install Vagrant from source, please [follow the guide in the Wiki](https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant/wiki/Installing-Vagrant-from-Source).
|
|
|
|
You can run the test suite with:
|
|
|
|
bundle exec rake
|
|
|
|
This will run the unit test suite, which should come back all green! Then you're good to go!
|
|
|
|
If you want to run Vagrant without having to install the gem, you may use `bundle exec`,
|
|
like so:
|
|
|
|
bundle exec vagrant help
|
|
|
|
### Acceptance Tests
|
|
|
|
Vagrant also comes with an acceptance test suite that does black-box
|
|
tests of various Vagrant components. Note that these tests are **extremely
|
|
slow** because actual VMs are spun up and down. The full test suite can
|
|
take hours. Instead, try to run focused component tests.
|
|
|
|
To run the acceptance test suite, first copy `vagrant-spec.config.example.rb`
|
|
to `vagrant-spec.config.rb` and modify it to valid values. The places you
|
|
should fill in are clearly marked.
|
|
|
|
Next, see the components that can be tested:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ rake acceptance:components
|
|
cli
|
|
provider/virtualbox/basic
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then, run one of those components:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ rake acceptance:run COMPONENTS="cli"
|
|
...
|
|
```
