How to Install Vagrant VMware Provider Plugins on Gnu/Linux

Linux Vagrant Enabling VMware Provider

Hi! The Tutorial shows you Step-by-Step How to Install Vagrant Virtual Development Environment VMware Workstation/Fusion Provider Plugins for GNU+Linux.

Vagrant is a tool for building complete development environments, sandboxed in a virtual machine.

Vagrant lowers development environment setup time, increases development/production parity, and brings the idea of disposable compute resources
down to the desktop.

With One Command, Vagrant does all of the following:

• Creates a Virtual Machine for you based on an Operating System of your choice.
• Modifies the Physical Properties of this virtual machine (e.g., RAM, number of
  CPUs, etc.).
• Establishes Network Interfaces so that you can access your virtual machine from
  your own computer, another device on the same network, or even from another
  virtual machine.
• Sets up Shared Folders so that you can continue editing files on your own machine/nand have those modifications mirror over to the guest machine.
• Boots the virtual machine so that it is running.
• Sets the hostname of the machine, since a lot of software depends on this being
  properly set.
• Provisions software on the machine via a shell script or configuration management
  solution such as Chef, Puppet, or a custom solution.
• Performs host and guest specific Tweaking to work around known issues that may/narise. For example, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS breaks VirtualBox networking defaults, so
  Vagrant makes minor modifications to some configuration in Ubuntu to make sure
  networking continues working. Vagrant does these sorts of things for many host/
  guest pairs.
