![]() ![]() Apart from the stdout log output, you'll be able to see when this is done in VirtualBox's GUI Manager as another entry for the new box will be listed (with status "Running"). After which, it also needs to extract and install the template box in VirtualBox. In this case, Vagrant will need to download the box from Hashicorp's servers and store it in your $VAGRANT_HOME which by default is ~/.vagrant.d.Äownloading the box will be the longest part of vagrant up. This can take quite some time if you don't already have a template for ubuntu/trusty64 on your machine. With our Vagrantfile in place, go ahead and start the VM with vagrant up. Note, if you don't fancy all the comments in the generated Vagrantfile, feel free to delete the file and generate it again using the -m flag: vagrant init -m ubuntu/trusty64. A box whose name is in the format vendor/name means Vagrant will look for this box on Hashicorp's servers if it fails to find it on your host machine. In order to kick off the process, go ahead and run vagrant init ubuntu/trusty64 which will give us a Vagrantfile specifying which box we want to use (in our case, it's ubuntu/trusty64). After building it, we'll be able to install the template on our system and use it whenever we want an Ubuntu VM pre-installed with the software we need to start writing Rails apps. This is where we'll be building our template box containing everything we need to start writing a new Rails application. Start off by creating an empty directory, e.g. I'm using VirtualBox version 5.0.10 r104061 and Vagrant version 1.7.4. You'll need to have VirtualBox and Vagrant installed before starting (if you intend to follow along). In this post we'll see how to create a virtual machine running Ubuntu which has everything installed to start developing Rails applications.
