Need help using someone elses box

[Michael Ference]

Hello, I received a box from a fellow developer and I'm trying to get it up and running.  He told me I just needed to extract the box files to a vagrant folder and use vagrant up command, but I'm getting this error: 

The provider 'parallels' could not be found, but was requested to

back the machine '...'. Please use a provider that exists.

Vagrant knows about the following providers: docker, hyperv, virtualbox

where ... is the name of the machine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  
Thanks!

Your developer was using Parallels (on MacOS) as his Vagrant provider, so you'll need to install the `vagrant-parallels` provider: https://github.com/Parallels/vagrant-parallels / https://parallels.github.io/vagrant-parallels. The basic installation step is listed in the repo’s README; and the other link is all the other documentation.

If you’re trying to figure out the name of the VM, you find the documentation here: https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/virtualbox/configuration.html#virtual-machine-name.

Hope that helps.

Hi Randall,

I had found Parallel's GitHub page and it appears it's only for Mac and I'm currently working from a Windows environment.  Is that going to be an issue?

Hey Micheal,

Well, there’s a chance he/she might have left the default configuration behind. You can check your `vagrantfile` to be sure.

Otherwise, depending on the configuration and what you’re running, changing the provider could be be fairly easy. https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/providers/configuration.html#provider-configuration

Hi Randall,

Here is what is currently in the Vagrantfile:

# -*- mode: ruby -*-

dir = File.dirname(File.expand_path(__FILE__))

require 'yaml'

require "#{dir}/puphpet/ruby/deep_merge.rb"

require "#{dir}/puphpet/ruby/to_bool.rb"

configValues = YAML.load_file("#{dir}/puphpet/config.yaml")

provider = ENV['VAGRANT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER'] ? ENV['VAGRANT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER'] : 'local'

if File.file?("#{dir}/puphpet/config-#{provider}.yaml")

custom = YAML.load_file("#{dir}/puphpet/config-#{provider}.yaml")

configValues.deep_merge!(custom)

end

if File.file?("#{dir}/puphpet/config-custom.yaml")

custom = YAML.load_file("#{dir}/puphpet/config-custom.yaml")

configValues.deep_merge!(custom)

end

data = configValues['vagrantfile']

Vagrant.require_version '>= 1.8.1'

Vagrant.configure('2') do |config|

eval File.read("#{dir}/puphpet/vagrant/Vagrantfile-#{data['target']}")

end

Do I need to edit this file or just remove it and try vagrant up from scratch?

Thanks,

Michael

Hey Michael,

Sorry for the delay in response.

It seems that your developer used PuPHPet. https://puphpet.com/

You can modify the file if you’re comfortable. However, if you’re not, you can go to their website and generate a new configuration; which might be easier.

I’m not super familiar with PuPHPet, as I’ve never actually used it.
