On this page, enable Vagrant support in IntelliJ IDEA, specify the location of the VagrantFile, and handle the list of Vagrant base boxes to use in creation of virtual boxes (instances).

Before you start working with Vagrant, make sure that:

  1. Vagrant is downloaded and installed.

  2. Install and enable the plugin.

    The plugin is not bundled with IntelliJ IDEA, but it can be installed from the JetBrains plugin repository.

ItemDescription
Vagrant executableSpecify the fully qualified address of the executable file: vagrant.bat for Windows, vagrant for Unix and macOS. Type the path manually, or click the browse button and locate the desired file in the dialog that opens.
Instance folder

Specify here the fully qualified path to the directory, where the task vagrant init has been executed, and the Vagrantfile is initialized and stored.

A Vagrantfile is a configuration file that defines the instance (virtual machine) you need. The file contains the virtual IP address, port mappings, and the memory size to assign. The file can specify which folders are shared and which third-party software should be installed. According to the Vagrantfile your instance (virtual machine) is configured, provisioned against the relevant Vagrant base box, and deployed on your computer. A Vagrantfile is created through the vagrant init command.

When creation of an instance (virtual machine) is invoked either through the vagrant up command or through the Tools | Vagrant | Up menu option, IntelliJ IDEA looks for the Vagrantfile in the directory specified in the Instance folder field. For more information, see http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/vagrantfile/.

You can create a Vagrantfile in any directory and appoint it as instance folder. If the field is empty, IntelliJ IDEA will treat the project root as the instance folder and look for a Vagrantfile in it.

ProviderUse this field to specify the provider to be used by vagrant up command. If this field is left blank, the default provider is used.
Environment variableClick the ellipsis button or press Shift+Enter to specify the shell variables to be used to configure the providers' behavior.
