+

+
+The following steps quickly deploy a Rancher Server with a single node cluster attached.
+
+:::caution
+
+The intent of these guides is to quickly launch a sandbox that you can use to evaluate Rancher. These guides are not intended for production environments. For comprehensive setup instructions, see [Installation](../../installation-and-upgrade/installation-and-upgrade.md).
+
+:::
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- [Vagrant](https://developer.hashicorp.com/vagrant): Vagrant is required as this is used to provision the machine based on the Vagrantfile.
+- [Virtualbox](https://www.virtualbox.org): The virtual machines that Vagrant provisions need to be provisioned to VirtualBox.
+- At least 4GB of free RAM.
+
+:::note 
+
+Vagrant requires plugins to create VirtualBox VMs. Install them with the following commands: 
+- `vagrant plugin install vagrant-vboxmanage` 
+- `vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest` 
+
+:::
+
+## Getting Started
+
+1. Clone [Rancher Quickstart](https://github.com/rancher/quickstart) to a folder using `git clone https://github.com/rancher/quickstart`.
+
+2. Go into the folder containing the Vagrantfile by executing `cd quickstart/rancher/vagrant`.
+
+3. **Optional:** Edit `config.yaml` to:
+
+    - Change the number of nodes and the memory allocations, if required. (`node.count`, `node.cpus`, `node.memory`)
+    - Change the password of the `admin` user for logging into Rancher. (`admin_password`)
+
+4. To initiate the creation of the environment run, `vagrant up --provider=virtualbox`.
+
+5. Once provisioning finishes, go to `https://192.168.56.101` in the browser. The default user/password is `admin/adminPassword`.
+
+**Result:** Rancher Server and your Kubernetes cluster is installed on VirtualBox.
+
+### What's Next?
+
+Use Rancher to create a deployment. For more information, see [Creating Deployments](../deploy-workloads/deploy-workloads.md).
+
+## Destroying the Environment
+
+1. From the `quickstart/rancher/vagrant` folder execute `vagrant destroy -f`.
+
+2. Wait for the confirmation that all resources have been destroyed.
