How to install the latest version of Vagrant

  • 772

I have downloaded the vagrant 2.2.9 64 bit setup file from Downloads | Vagrant. It is not a .deb file, it does not have any extension so I can not understand how can I install vagrant using this file. It only shows exec in green letters in the file icon.

How can I install vagrant in my ubuntu 18.04.4 using this file? Or is there any other way to install the latest version of Vagrant?

vagrant 18.04

    1. Download the Debian package (not the generic Linux zipfile)

    Debian package, not the Linux zipfile

    1. Look in your Downloads directory for the exact filename. Mine was vagrant_2.2.9_x86_64.deb your filename may vary.

    2. Install. Recall that the file is in the Downloads directory, and use the correct filename. On mine it's: sudo apt install ~/Downloads/vagrant_2.2.9_x86_64.deb

  2. Automate the process with a simple script below:

    #!/bin/bash

cd /tmp
export VERSION=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/hashicorp/vagrant/tags | jq ".[0].name" | cut -c 3-8)
curl -O https://releases.hashicorp.com/vagrant/$VERSION/vagrant_{$VERSION}_x86_64.deb
chmod 755 vagrant_$(echo $VERSION)_x86_64.deb
sudo apt install ./\vagrant_$(echo $VERSION)_x86_64.deb
rm -f vagrant_$(echo $VERSION)_x86_64.deb

    The code will install the latest version of Vagrant.
