I see here: https://www.vagrantup.com/vmware#buy-now

that I can purchase provider vmware and vagrant, but I read:

"The provider license does not include a license to the VMware software, which must be purchased separately. If you're buying over 100 licenses, contact b...@hashicorp.com for volume pricing. "

This mean that I need purchase also wmvare fusion?

What is this license for?

Yes you need to purchase vmware fusion separately. The license is so you can use vagrant to control vmware machines.

If you use virtual box you don't need this license but vmware gives better performance.

Thanks for your reply.

I would like just test vagrant plugin, but seem there is not a trial version.

Also, can you confirm that vagrant work only with vmware 6?

Because I have only vmware 7 installed (trial version).

thanks!!

Not sure about fusion but I remember seeing it in the docs. I'm using vagrant with vmware workstation 10.

To be honest there's nothing to test out. If you like vagrant, and you use vmware, and your version is supported, then get the plugin.

I would suggest test it on virtualbox before you decide Vagrant is what you need or not.

hello, by the free version you mean vmplayer? I am afraid that vagrant on mac only works with fusion.

No, I mean vagrant + virtualbox.

vagrant is free, virtualbox is free. Feel free to install and test.

vagrant is a command line tool, so you should open terminal and execute commands from there.

then if you decide to delete, you can uninstall virtualbox and delete vagrant

sudo rm /usr/bin/vagrant
sudo rm -fr /Applications/Vagrant/

ops... I found here instruction for delete:

On Mac OS X, remove the /Applications/Vagrant directory and the /usr/bin/vagrant file.
Also execute sudo pkgutil --forget com.vagrant.vagrant to have OS X forget that Vagrant was ever installed.

https://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/installation/uninstallation.html

RTFM... :)

It's normal that I need to use "sudo" ?

hello

short answer: no

explanation:
read the message..

you are asking vagrant to create a file where your user doesn't have write privilege

cd
mkdir test
cd test
vagrant init hashicorp/precise32

should work

be sure you have write permissiones where you want to create this stuff.

Alvaro.
