To simplify the 13 getting started experience, we will be working in a Vagrant environment. 14 Create a new directory, and download [this `Vagrantfile`](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hashicorp/nomad/master/demo/vagrant/Vagrantfile). 15 16 ## Vagrant Setup 17 18 Once you have created a new directory and downloaded the `Vagrantfile` 19 you must create the virtual machine: 20 21 $ vagrant up 22 23 This will take a few minutes as the base Ubuntu box must be downloaded 24 and provisioned with both Docker and Nomad. Once this completes, you should 25 see output similar to: 26 27 Bringing machine 'default' up with 'vmware_fusion' provider... 28 ==> default: Checking if box 'puphpet/ubuntu1404-x64' is up to date... 29 ==> default: Machine is already running. 30 31 At this point the Vagrant box is running and ready to go. 32 33 ## Verifying the Installation 34 35 After starting the Vagrant box, verify the installation worked by connecting 36 to the box using SSH and checking that `nomad` is available. By executing 37 `nomad`, you should see help output similar to the following: 38 39 ``` 40 $ vagrant ssh 41 ... 42 43 vagrant@nomad:~$ nomad 44 45 usage: nomad [--version] [--help] <command> [<args>] 46 47 Available commands are: 48 agent Runs a Nomad agent 49 agent-info Display status information about the local agent 50 alloc-status Display allocation status information and metadata 51 client-config View or modify client configuration details 52 eval-monitor Monitor an evaluation interactively 53 fs Inspect the contents of an allocation directory 54 init Create an example job file 55 node-drain Toggle drain mode on a given node 56 node-status Display status information about nodes 57 run Run a new job or update an existing job 58 server-force-leave Force a server into the 'left' state 59 server-join Join server nodes together 60 server-members Display a list of known servers and their status 61 status Display status information about jobs 62 stop Stop a running job 63 validate Checks if a given job specification is valid 64 version Prints the Nomad version 65 ``` 66 67 If you get an error that Nomad could not be found, then your Vagrant box 68 may not have provisioned correctly. Check for any error messages that may have 69 been emitted during `vagrant up`. You can always destroy the box and 70 re-create it. 71 72 ## Next Steps 73 74 Vagrant is running and Nomad is installed. Let's [start Nomad](/intro/getting-started/running.html)! 75 76
