1. install virtualbox and vagrant over apt-get.

# apt-get install virtualbox # apt-get install vagrant # /etc/init.d/virtualbox status VirtualBox kernel modules are loaded. # lsmod | grep vbox vboxpci                23194  0 vboxnetadp             25670  0 vboxnetflt             27613  0 vboxdrv               339502  3 vboxnetadp,vboxnetflt,vboxpci # virtualbox --help Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager 4.3.10_Ubuntu # dpkg-query -L virtualbox /. /etc /etc/default /etc/default/virtualbox /etc/init.d /etc/init.d/virtualbox /lib /lib/udev /lib/udev/rules.d /lib/udev/rules.d/40-virtualbox.rules /lib/udev/VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh

2.  add a box image

# vagrant box add centos7-64 https://github.com/holms/vagrant-centos7-box/releases/download/7.1.1503.001/CentOS-7.1.1503-x86_64-netboot.box Downloading box from URL: https://github.com/holms/vagrant-centos7-box/releases/download/7.1.1503.001/CentOS-7.1.1503-x86_64-netboot.box Extracting box...te: 3288k/s, Estimated time remaining: --:--:--) Successfully added box 'centos7-64' with provider 'virtualbox'!

list a box

# vagrant box list centos7-64 (virtualbox) # vagrant box list -i centos7-64 (virtualbox)  - url: https://github.com/holms/vagrant-centos7-box/releases/download/7.1.1503.001/CentOS-7.1.1503-x86_64-netboot.box  - downloaded_at: 2015-05-27 17:07:02 UTC

3.  set up a project

make a directory for the project and initialize an environment.

# mkdir vagrant_project01 # cd vagrant_project01/ root@ubuntu:~/vagrant_project01# vagrant init A `Vagrantfile` has been placed in this directory. You are now ready to `vagrant up` your first virtual environment! Please read the comments in the Vagrantfile as well as documentation on `vagrantup.com` for more information on using Vagrant. root@ubuntu:~/vagrant_project01# grep -v '#' Vagrantfile | grep -v ^$ VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2" Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|  config.vm.box = "base" end

edit Vagrantfile to use the box ( CentOS7 ) which I added.

# grep -v '#' Vagrantfile | grep -v ^$ VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2" Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|  config.vm.box = "centos7-64" end

4. start the VM and connect to that over SSH

start the VM

root@ubuntu:~/vagrant_project01# vagrant up Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider... [default] Importing base box 'centos7-64'...

connect to the VM.

# vagrant ssh Welcome to your Vagrant-built virtual machine. [vagrant@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/centos-release CentOS Linux release 7.1.1503 (Core) [vagrant@localhost ~]$

shutdown the VM.

# vagrant halt [default] Attempting graceful shutdown of VM...
