Configure an interpreter using Vagrant

Ensure that the following prerequisites are met (outside of PyCharm):

Oracle's VirtualBox is installed on your computer.
Vagrant is installed on your computer, and all the necessary infrastructure is created.
The parent folders of the following executable files are added to the system PATH variable:
- vagrant.bat or vagrant from your Vagrant installation. This should be done automatically by the installer.
- VBoxManage.exe or VBoxManage from your Oracle's VirtualBox installation.
The required virtual boxes are created.

Ensure that you have downloaded and installed Python on your computer.
Ensure that you have properly initiated and started Vagrant. Basically, you need to open the Terminal window and execute the following commands:
$ vagrant init ubuntu/trusty64
and
$ vagrant up
See Vagrant documentation for more information.
Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open IDE settings and select Plugins.
