# Install Virtualbox && Vagrant for MacOSX

Vagrant uses Virtualbox to manage the virtual dependencies. You can directly download virtualbox and install or use homebrew for it.

```sh
$ brew cask install virtualbox
```

Now install Vagrant either from the website or use homebrew for installing it.

```sh
$ brew cask install vagrant
```

Vagrant-Manager helps you manage all your virtual machines in one place directly from the menubar.

```sh
$ brew cask install vagrant-manager
```

Usage
Add the Vagrant box you want to use. We'll use Ubuntu 12.04 for the following example.

```$ vagrant box add precise64 http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64.box```

You can find more boxes at Vagrant Cloud

Now create a test directory and cd into the test directory. Then we'll initialize the vagrant machine.

```$ vagrant init precise64```

Now lets start the machine using the following command.

```$ vagrant up```

You can ssh into the machine now.

```$ vagrant ssh```

Halt the vagrant machine now.

```$ vagrant halt```

Other useful commands are suspend, destroy etc.
