# Usage
|
|
|
|
The Vagrant VMware provider is used just like any other provider. Please
|
|
read the general [basic usage](/vagrant/docs/providers/basic_usage) page for
|
|
providers.
|
|
|
|
The value to use for the `--provider` flag is `vmware_desktop`. For compatibility
|
|
with older versions of the plugin, `vmware_fusion` can be used for VMware
|
|
Fusion, and `vmware_workstation` for VMware Workstation.
|
|
|
|
The Vagrant VMware provider does not support parallel execution at this time.
|
|
Specifying the `--parallel` option will have no effect.
|
|
|
|
To get started, create a new `Vagrantfile` that points to a VMware box:
|
|
|
|
```ruby
|
|
# vagrant init hashicorp/bionic64
|
|
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
|
|
config.vm.box = "hashicorp/bionic64"
|
|
end
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then run:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ vagrant up --provider vmware_desktop
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will download and bring up a new VMware Fusion/Workstation virtual machine
|
|
in Vagrant.
