Vagrant 2.2.6 does not support VirtualBox 6.1.0

MongoDB University M103: Basic Cluster Administration
#1

Hello everyone,

First, I really like Mongodb University - best and fastest way to get on the saddle, imo.

I am trying to set myself up for M103, and I think I have run in some issues which I am not sure how to solve.

  • I am on Ubuntu 18.04.
  • I have installed VirtualBox 6.1.0
  • I have installed Vagrant 2.2.6
  • From the /m103/m103-vagrant-env folder, I run “vagrant up --provision”
    => I get an error message which starts with “No usable default provider could be found for your system.” and goes on to explain that it needs a “provider”, such as VirtualBox, and suggests to run “vagrant up --provider=virtualbox”
    • I run “vagrant up --provider=virtualbox”
      => I get an error message explaining that Vagrant supports VirtualBox version up to 6.0

I could uninstall virtualbox 6.1 and install 6.0, but I am not sure where to find it.
Could anyone please point me to a place where I can get it, or to another way to get out of this situation?

Thank you very much for your help
Marc

Hi Kanika
Thank you very much for the prompt response.
It worked like a charm and I am now up and running - I can SSH into the virtual machine, which seems to be Ubuntu 14.04.6 LTS.
Forward and upward!
Thanks
Marc
