Vagrant plugin command is not available when running `vagrant plugin install`

I have tried installing vagrant from both an apt repo and gem but here's the output I am getting when I try to run vagrant plugin install (clearly no plugin command in output):

Usage: vagrant [-v] [-h] command [<args>]

    -v, --version                    Print the version and exit.
    -h, --help                       Print this help.

 Available subcommands:
     box
     destroy
     gem
     halt
     init
     package
     provision
     reload
     resume
     ssh
     ssh-config
     status
     suspend
     up

I have tried installing vagrant from both apt and Rubygems and in both cases I get no plugin command. I am running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

Solution

  • Install Vagrant from source.

    The github repo is here: https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant

    And these instructions should allow you to build and install the bleeding edge version: https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/wiki/Installing-Vagrant-from-source

    If you want the latest stable version then once you have cloned the repo as described in the link above you should checkout the 1.2.2 tag with git checkout v1.2.2 and then build that.
