Vagrant needs a virtualizing software in order to run the virtual machine. Vagrant works well with many backend providers; by default it works with VirtualBox (https://www.virtualbox.org/), but you can use other providers as well. Vagrant acts like a remote control to start virtual machines.
When setting up a machine the first time, Vagrant reads a file called «Vagrantfile». This file contains information about which OS template to start with (we use CentOS 7). It then continues with all the shell commandos in order to set up our virtual machine.
## First Run
0. cd to src/vagrant
1.`vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest`
2.`vagrant up` -- this will provision a VM and install most software prerequisites (python, jupyterhub, etc.)
2.`vagrant up --provision --provider virtualbox` -- this will read Vagrantfile and provision a CentOS 7 VM and install most software prerequisites (python, jupyterhub, etc.). This can take a while and needs a fast internet connection too.
3. Download openBIS and put it in the vagrant folder so it is visible within the VM.
4.`vagrant ssh` -- log into the machine.
5. Install openbis
