Vagrant in Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial)

Decided I needed to keep cleaner dev environments using vagrant today, so did a quick install. Easy:

1. Download Virtualbox

2. Download Vagrant (debian package works perfectly for ubuntu)

3. Realize that virtualization stuff isn’t enabled by default on my motherboard…

   sudo apt-get install cpu-checker
   sudo kvm-ok
   

4. Enable VT-d and VMX (under CPU settings) so that virtualization works. Hard reboot system to make sure it’s enabled, run sudo kvm-ok again to double check things are good.

5. Try it out!

   mkdir -p ~/vagrants/precise64 && cd ~/vagrants/precise64
   vagrant init hashicorp/precise64
   vagrant up
