+# Install Vagrant
+Vagrant is a tool for building and managing virtual machine environments in a single workflow which lowers development environment setup time and increases production parity. 
+
+## Notice
+The Package Manager method's explanation is based on Ubuntu distribution of GNU/Linux. For more distributions explanations, please visit [Vagrant's Official Website](https://www.vagrantup.com).
+
+## Installation Guide
+You can either download the latest version from [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads) website and install it, or use your package manager instead.
+Here's an explanation of both methods:
+* #### Using Zip File
+* #### Using Package Manager
+
+### Using Zip File
+First, download the Vagrant's latest zip file on your host using:
+```
+wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/vagrant/2.2.16/vagrant_2.2.16_linux_amd64.zip
+```
+After the file has been downloaded, you need to unzip the file using the command below:
+```
+unzip vagrant_2.2.14_linux_amd64.zip
+```
+In order to use the command globally, copy the extracted contents to binary directory:
+```
+sudo cp vagrant /usr/local/bin/
+```
+You can confirm the installation by checking the version:
+```
+vagrant version
+```
+### Using Package Manager
+In this method, as the [Vagrant's Official](https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads) download page mentions, you need to run these commands in order:
+```
+curl -fsSL https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
+
+sudo apt-add-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://apt.releases.hashicorp.com $(lsb_release -cs) main"
+
+sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vagrant
+```
+And check the installed version using:
+```
+vagrant version
+```
+## Start With Vagrant
+
+### Making A Directory
+It's better to create a directory to store your VM's Vagrantfile:
+```
+mkdir vagrant && cd vagrant
+```
+
+### Initialize Vagrant
+To initialize your first VM, use:
+```
+vagrant init
+```
+This command, will create a Vagrantfile which configures your VM. You can change it with your own customizations.
+
+### Boxs
+Vagrant boxes help you create your VM based on different platforms. They include a readily-available Vagrantfile which can be altered. Boxes can be downloaded
+from the [Official Vagrant's](https://app.vagrantup.com) Boxes page.
+Use this command to initialize your VM with Ubuntu 20.04:
+```
+vagrant init ubuntu/focal64
+```
+Another option would be configuring Vagranfile:
+```
+Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
+  config.vm.box = "ubuntu/focal64"
+end
+```
+Use this command to see all your Vagrant boxes:
+```
+vagrant boxes list
+```
+
+### Basic Commands
+* To run your VM:
+```
+vagrant up
+```
+
+* To shut down your VM:
+```
+vagrant halt
+```
+
+* To suspend your VM:
+```
+vagrant suspend
+```
+
+* To validate the Vagrantfile:
+```
+vagrant validate
+```
+
+* To provision your VM:
+```
+vagrant provision
+```
+
+* To run your VM without provisioning:
+```
+vagrant up --no-provision
+```
+
+* To SSH into your VM:
+```
+vagrant ssh
+```
+If you are using VirtualBox's GUI, the default user and password of your VM would be **'vagrant'** and **'vagrant'**. 
+
+* To destroy your VM and associated files and drives:
+```
+vagrant destroy
+```
+
+* To destroy it with force:
+```
+vagrant destroy -f
+```
+* To check your VM status
+```
+vagrant status
+```
+
+* To check all your VMs' status
+```
+vagrant global-status
+```
+
+* To reload your VM:
+```
+vagrant reload
+```
