Once Vagrant and the libvirt plugin are installed on our system, we can initialize our first environment. $ sudo apt install vagrant vagrant-libvirt $ sudo dnf install vagrant vagrant-libvirt In the table below you can see distribution-specific instructions to install it together with Vagrant itself: Distribution Vagrant support for libvirt is provided via a separate plugin. The native Linux virtualization stack is composed by the KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) module, which let us use Linux as a type-1 level hypervisor, Qemu (a type-2 hypervisor), and libvirt, a library providing virtualization API. Vagrant source code is released under the MIT license the the tool is packaged in the official repositories of all the most used Linux distributions, and can easily be installed using their respective package managers.

In this tutorial we learn how to install Vagrant on some of the most used Linux distributions, and the basic concepts behind its usage. What Vagrant does is basically acting as an abstraction layer/wrapper around virtual machines providers such as Virtualbox, VMware and libvirt, allowing us to build, provision and easily replicate virtual machines environments on different operating systems, using a common syntax. Vagrant is a free and open source tool developed by Hashicorp, defined as a “a tool for building and distributing development environments”.
