Once it is done, you shall verify the installation by issuing the following command which displays the installed version of Vagrant as your output.

root@linuxhelp:~# vagrant -v
Vagrant 1.8.1

Now, you shall deploy your development environment by making use of the following command.

root@linuxhelp:~# vagrant box add precise32 http://files.vagrantup.com/precise32.box
==>  box: Box file was not detected as metadata. Adding it directly...
==>  box: Adding box ' precise32'  (v0) for provider: 
    box: Downloading: http://files.vagrantup.com/precise32.box
==>  box: Successfully added box ' precise32'  (v0) for ' virtualbox' !

Create a root directory for your Project. Then create a vagrant file in this folder by calling ‘ vagrant init’ , which will be the central file for the project configuration:

root@linuxhelp:~# mkdir vagrant_project_idroot
root@linuxhelp:~# cd vagrant_project_idroot/
root@linuxhelp:~/vagrant_project_idroot# 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@linuxhelp:~/vagrant_project_idroot# vim Vagrantfile
replace the following line.
config.vm.box = " precise32" 

root@linuxhelp:~/vagrant_project_idroot# vagrant up
