Hi, I have installed vagrant v 1.7.4 and VirtualBox v 5.0.2 and when I complete the steps described here:

Download the Vagrantfile and create the Vagrant instance:

mkdir devstack
cd devstack
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/edx/configuration/master/vagrant/release/devstack/Vagrantfile > Vagrantfile
vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest
vagrant up

I get the error I pasted here:
https://gist.github.com/anonymous/3e9d58fcb2e48dbf3036
The most important part I think is the following:

The SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status. Vagrant
assumes that this means the command failed. The output for this command
should be in the log above. Please read the output to determine what
went wrong.
Is it a windows 10 or other software issue, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance.

If someone is interested, I solved the issue. I changed the version of VirtualBox at 4.3.x revision 101940 which is available here: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds

I get an error when I run: OPENEDX_VERSION="aspen.1" vagrant up

 I use Windows 10 Home edition. (Home edition doesn't have NFS facilities). I request you to help me.

Try changing "aspen.1" to "ficus.4" and see if that works.

But please remember that these instructions were made two years ago for a different version of Open edX (Aspen instead of Ficus/Ginkgo) and deploying to a different version of Windows (8 instead of 10), so the instructions are very unlikely to work exactly as described.
