vagrant: command not found after install on Mac OSX 10.10.4

Question

Downloaded Vagrant, and went through th installation process. When I ran vagrant -v it says vagrant: command not found It has put the files in /opt/vagrant/...

It should install in the Applications folder with a link to the /usr/bin so it is added to the shell path. There is no directory that has been created during this process. I am afraid I can't even get started with it. ITs obviously not creating all the shortcuts it needs to be able to run the commands.

I have looked for support on this issue and reported a bug.

I also accepted the xcode licence agreement.

Has anybody else had this issue. My next step is to manually create the shortcuts.

If you look at the uninstall script including in the Vagrant DMG, it is referring to /usr/local/bin which does not exist. It should be error handling (the Vagrant pkg installer) and create it (permissions/ownership etc) but it doesn't.

You need to mkdir the /usr/local/bin. I tried a symlink between /usr/bin/vagrant (as /usr/bin exists, and in-path) to /opt/vagrant/bin/vagrant BUT this does not work, as later on in life, Vagrant refers in a hard fashion to /usr/local/bin/vagrant because its stupid.

$ sudo mkdir /usr/local/bin

If you sudo it, it should be made with correct ownership etc. Now just re-run the Vagrant installer pkg.

Make sure the Virtual Box setup is installed on Mac before installing Vagrant.

Answer 3

I raised the bug with https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/6034 The issue is that I had no /usr/local directory at all.

It is an apple issue. After I created the directories as you described I was able to install vagrant vitrual boax and laravel.

Here is what I did.

sudo mkdir /usr/local

Then bin.

cd /usr/local sudo mkdir bin

I uninstalled Vagrant, re-installed and when I ran vagrant -v I then got the version.

cd /usr/local/bin ls sudo chmod 755 vagrant

Thanks for your Answer.

Weird, on 1.8.5 I couldn't run Vagrant either, noticed that /usr/local/bin was owned by root. Ran command

# chown -R User:Group /usr/local/bin 

as root and works from my username now.

This is an Apple issue.

I had to create the local directory.

sudo mkdir /usr/local

sudo mkdir bin

I uninstalled and re-installed Vagrant

This worked for me
