Activating a virtual box

Once init is successfully completed, you are ready to perform the vagrant up command and import to the root the box used at initialization.

To activate a virtual box by executing the Vagrant up command, choose Tools | Vagrant | Up from the main menu. The vagrant up command is launched, and shows its output messages in the Run tool window.
