Use two different versions of vagrant on the same system

[Misha Behersky]

Hi, I'm trying to use Vagrant 2.1 and Vagrant 1.8 at the same time on the one Ubuntu machine.

Therefore I'm building them manually via 

git clone https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant.git vagrant-1.8.4/

cd vagrant-1.8.4/

git checkout v1.8.4

bundle install

This doesn't work as I receive such an error

Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "rspec": In Gemfile: rspec (~> 2.14.0)
vagrant-spec was resolved to 0.0.1, which depends on rspec (~> 3.5.0)

Is it the right way to make two different versions of Vagrant to work simultaneously? Is there a way I can accomplish that?

My environment:

$ bundler --version
Bundler version 1.16.3
$ ruby --version
ruby 2.5.1p57 (2018-03-29 revision 63029) [x86_64-linux-gnu]

Because I usually use 2.1 (as it newer stable version supporting new features), but for one particular case (I need this plugin support) seems like 1.8 is required (and not 2.0 or above).

Actually, I found one way to accomplish this (not building two versions from sources) but it works for me now. Link to the article.

Since that plugin is a remote builder plugin, why not instal that vagrant version + plugin inside a VM ?

The official way to instal Vagrant is by the installer.

And when using bundler/etc is only meant to development, not all external functionality may work, ie external plugins.
