Initializing Vagrant Boxes
This feature is only supported in the Professional edition.
Basics
PyCharm makes it possible to execute the init
procedure on a project root. After performing init
on a project root, the Vagrant configuration file named Vagrantfile
is created there. This file can be used for creating a remote interpreter.
Initializing a virtual box
- On the main menu, choose .
- In the Select Vagrant Folder pop-up menu, select the project root to be used:
- Since it is possible to have multiple virtual boxes, specify the particular box you want to work with:
The
vagrant init
command is launched, and shows its output messages in the Run tool window.
If the Vagrant executable is not specified in the Vagrant page, you can still initialize a Vagrant box. However, in this situation, PyCharm pops up a file browser, enabling you to select Vagrant executable.
Activating a virtual box
Once init
is successfully completed, you are ready to perform the vagrant up
command and import to the root the box used at initialization.
To activate a virtual box by executing the Vagrant up
command, choose on the main menu. The vagrant up
command is launched, and shows its output messages in the Run tool window.
