By default, VirtualBox is the default provider for Vagrant. VirtualBox is
|
|
still the most accessible platform to use Vagrant: it is free, cross-platform,

and has been supported by Vagrant for years. With VirtualBox as the default

provider, it provides the lowest friction for new users to get started with

Vagrant.

# Default Provider
|
|
|
|
By default, VirtualBox is the default provider for Vagrant. VirtualBox is
|
|
still the most accessible platform to use Vagrant: it is free, cross-platform,
|
|
and has been supported by Vagrant for years. With VirtualBox as the default
|
|
provider, it provides the lowest friction for new users to get started with
|
|
Vagrant.
|
|
|
|
However, you may find after using Vagrant for some time that you prefer
|
|
to use another provider as your default. In fact, this is quite common.
|
|
To make this experience better, Vagrant allows specifying the default
|
|
provider to use by setting the `VAGRANT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER` environmental
|
|
variable.
|
|
|
|
Just set `VAGRANT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER` to the provider you wish to be the
|
|
default. For example, if you use Vagrant with VMware Fusion, you can set
|
|
the environmental variable to `vmware_fusion` and it will be your default.
