Plugin Usage
Installing a plugin is easy, and shouldn't take more than a few seconds.
Please refer to the documentation of any plugin you plan on using for more information on how to use it, but there is one common method for installation and plugin activation.
Warning! 3rd party plugins can introduce instabilities into Vagrant due to the nature of them being written by non-core users.
Installation
Plugins are installed using vagrant plugin install:
$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-example-plugin
...
Once a plugin is installed, it will automatically be loaded by Vagrant. Plugins which cannot be loaded shouldn't crash Vagrant. Instead, Vagrant will show an error message that a plugin failed to load.
Usage
Once a plugin is installed, you should refer to the plugin's documentation
to see exactly how to use it. Plugins which add commands should be instantly
available via vagrant, provisioners should be available via
config.vm.provision, etc.
Note: In the future, the vagrant plugin command will include a
subcommand that will document the components that each plugin installs.
Uninstallation
Uninstalling a plugin is as easy as installing it. Just use the
vagrant plugin uninstall command and the plugin will be removed. Example:
$ vagrant plugin uninstall vagrant-example-plugin
...
Listing Plugins
To view what plugins are installed into your Vagrant environment at
any time, use the vagrant plugin list command. This will list the plugins
that are installed along with their version.
