How To Install Vagrant on Oracle Linux 8

As a blogger, Vagrant is my goto tool for all the Labs I build for the tutorials. As a Developer or Systems Administrator, Vagrant will help you have a running environment in minutes for your development or testing new technologies.

With Vagrant you can build and manage virtual machine environments in a single workflow. With an easy-to-use workflow and focus on automation, Vagrant lowers development environment setup time, increases production parity, and makes the “works on my machine” excuse a relic of the past.

Install Vagrant on Oracle Linux 8

In this guide, we will discuss on how you can install and use Vagrant on Oracle Linux. Before you install Vagrant on Oracle Linux 8, ensure the virtualization environment of your choice is already setup.
