This entry shows you how to install these three packages: VirtualBox, Vagrant and Chef. VirtualBox is a hypervisor that allows to execute virtual machines running different operating systems such as Windows, Linux and MacOS. Vagrant is used for for deploying virtual machines on VirtualBox and VMWare Fusion using a Ruby-based domain specific language (DSL). Chef is a provisioning tool, like Vagrant, written in Ruby and uses a DSL this time for describing procedures used for performing different Unix administration tasks such as installing and configuring services, modifying files and managing users.
