Running Virtual Machine into a window command prompt

Prerequisite: Install =>

1. Virtual box => https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds_5_2

2. Vagrant => https://www.vagrantup.com/

A. Open Command prompt and create a folder “vm2”.

Go to folder and type command => vagrant init

Ø This will configure the current directory to be a Vagrant environment by generating an initial Vagrantfile if one does not already exist.

B. Configure your Vagrantfile which is just initialized at your directory vm2.

Write => config.vm.box = “ubuntu/xenial64 [ Cloud-image of the ubuntu ]

OR

You can directly use: “vagrant init ubuntu/xenial64” in first step. Using this we did need to configure the vagrant file.

C. After configuring the file, Create the guest machine using

“Vagrant up”

=> This command creates and configures guest machines according to your Vagrantfile.

D. Let's enter into our machine.

Command: “vagrant ssh”.

This will SSH into a running Vagrant machine and give you access to a shell.
