title: Vagrant Quick Start

<head>
<link rel="canonical" href="https://ranchermanager.docs.rancher.com/getting-started/quick-start-guides/deploy-rancher-manager/vagrant"/>
</head>
The following steps quickly deploy a Rancher Server with a single node cluster attached.
>**Note:** 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](../../../pages-for-subheaders/installation-and-upgrade.md).
## Prerequisites
- [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com): 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 will require 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/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://172.22.101.101` in the browser. The default user/password is `admin/admin`.
**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](../../../pages-for-subheaders/deploy-rancher-workloads.md).
## Destroying the Environment
1. From the `quickstart/vagrant` folder execute `vagrant destroy -f`.
2. Wait for the confirmation that all resources have been destroyed.
