how to isntall vagrant and virtual box in mac
# Install Virtualbox && Vagrant for MacOSX
Vagrant uses Virtualbox to manage the virtual dependencies. You can directly download virtualbox and install or use homebrew for it.
```sh
$ brew cask install virtualbox
```
Now install Vagrant either from the website or use homebrew for installing it.
```sh
$ brew cask install vagrant
```
Vagrant-Manager helps you manage all your virtual machines in one place directly from the menubar.
```sh
$ brew cask install vagrant-manager
```
Usage
Add the Vagrant box you want to use. We'll use Ubuntu 12.04 for the following example.
```$ vagrant box add precise64 http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64.box```
You can find more boxes at Vagrant Cloud
Now create a test directory and cd into the test directory. Then we'll initialize the vagrant machine.
```$ vagrant init precise64```
Now lets start the machine using the following command.
```$ vagrant up```
You can ssh into the machine now.
```$ vagrant ssh```
Halt the vagrant machine now.
```$ vagrant halt```
Other useful commands are suspend, destroy etc.
