To install Vagrant on Ubuntu, you can use the package manager to download and install it. Here’s how you can do it:

  1. Update the package list: Open a terminal and run the following command to ensure that your package list is up to date:
sudo apt update

2. Install dependencies: Vagrant requires certain dependencies to work correctly. Install them by running:

sudo apt install virtualbox virtualbox-ext-pack

3. Download and install Vagrant: You have a couple of options for downloading and installing Vagrant. You can either install it from the Ubuntu repositories or download the official package from the Vagrant website. Let’s cover both methods:

a. Install from Ubuntu repositories (Not always the latest version): Run the following command to install Vagrant from the Ubuntu repositories:

sudo apt install vagrant

b. Download and install the official package (Latest version): If you want the latest version of Vagrant, you can download it from the official website and install it manually. Follow these steps:

  • Go to the Vagrant website (https://www.vagrantup.com/) and download the appropriate package for Ubuntu.
  • After downloading the package (it should have a .deb extension), navigate to the directory where it is located in the terminal.
  • Install the package using the following command (replace “vagrant_package_name.deb” with the actual filename):
sudo dpkg -i vagrant_package_name.deb

After installation, you can remove the downloaded .deb package if you no longer need it:

rm vagrant_package_name.deb

4. Verify the installation: To confirm that Vagrant is installed correctly, run the following command in the terminal:

vagrant --version
  1. This will display the installed Vagrant version, indicating that Vagrant is successfully installed on your Ubuntu system.

That’s it! You now have Vagrant installed on your Ubuntu machine, and you can start using it to manage your virtual machine environments. Remember that Vagrant is a versatile tool that can work with various providers, such as VirtualBox, so make sure you have your preferred provider set up correctly for Vagrant to work smoothly.
