A `Vagrantfile` is available into `virtualization/vagrant` folder for quickly spinning up a Linux virtual machine running Home Assistant. This can be beneficial for those who want to experiment with Home Assistant and/or developers willing to easily test local changes and run test suite against them. In the same `virtualization/vagrant` folder there's also a `provision.sh` shell script which provides an easy way to interact with the Home Assistant instance running within the Vagrant VM.

You must have [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html) and [Virtualbox](https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads) installed on your workstation. Vagrant and Virtualbox support all the main platforms, including Windows, MacOS and Linux.
Limited support is available for Hyper-V on Windows, see below.

## {% linkable_title Windows %}
On Windows, Vagrant is launched through an elevated `PowerShell`. Use the batch script `provision.bat` instead of the shell script `provision.sh`.
## {% linkable_title Hyper-V %}
It is possible to use Hyper-V instead of Virtualbox on Windows, with some limitations.
Samba is used for the virtual machine to access files, for which the Windows credentials are needed when the machine is created.
As Hyper-V does not allow for port forwarding, NAT is used by default for the network. Through creating an external network switch in Hyper-V it is possible to access the machine on the network.
The IP address is visible on creation, and through the Hyper-V manager.
