7. 2. How it Works
   ●
   Vagrant manages vms using a Virtualization software
   like VirtualBox
   ●
   Beyond that, it runs a provisioner to setup the vm
   environment
   ●
   You just need to run vagrant up

   config.vm.box_url = "http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64.box"
   config.vm.provision "shell",

   end
