Unable to see Command Line after install Vagrant on Windows7

[Steven N]

Hi there,

New to VirtualBox and Vagrant.

Purpose is to setup development environment for PHP, MySQL.

Have Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit operating system on a laptop.

Just installed VirtualBox for Windows.

Just installed Vagrant for Windows. 

Vagrant created the files in the Vagrant directory, but no Vagrant icon to click.

Then I go to the directory "Vagrant/bin", there is an application file "Vagrant.exe".

Clicked on "Vagrant.exe", a command window appear, and then that pop-up window disappear automatically within like less than 1-second, meaning I cannot even get into that pop-up window.

So does that mean I have installed Vagrant wrongly?

How to fix up this issue to get Vagrant working??

Thanks in advance.

Hello Steven,

Vagrant is a console program, you need to run it from the Windows
Command Prompt or PowerShell.

Hope this helps!

For example, once you open Command Prompt, you could change to the
directory where your Vagrant file is and then launch your Vagrant box:

cd MyPoject
vagrant up

After using the Command Prompt from Windows as you mentioned, now can launch Vagrant.

Thanks Douglas.
