Before you start working with Vagrant, make sure that the Vagrant plugin is enabled. The plugin is bundled with PyCharm and is activated by default. If it is not, enable the plugin as described in Enabling and Disabling Plugins.

Besides that, make sure that the following prerequisites are met (outside of PyCharm):

Oracle's VirtualBox is installed on your computer.
Vagrant is installed on your computer, and all the necessary infrastructure is created.
The parent folders of the following executable files are added to the system PATH variable:

- VBoxManage.exe or VBoxManage from your Oracle's VirtualBox installation.
The required virtual boxes are created.
