You will need Linux flavor host machine to setup virtual machine with this Vagrantfile(due to shell provisioner).
On ubuntu host:
$ sudo apt-get install virtualbox virtualbox-ext-pack
$ sudo apt-get install vagrant
Or download and install them from:
Virtualbox extension pack is needed for USB support and it can be installed from menu: File>Preferences>Extensions.
After install of Vagrant and VirtualBox and run vagrant commands. This makes vritual machine setup and started automatically.
$ vagrant up
Then log into the VM with ssh.
$ vagrant ssh
See for the vagrant commands.
You can also use ssh client direclty with IP address 127.0.0.1 and port 2222. Or login from console in VirtualBox window if you want.
Use user name ubuntu and passowrd ubuntu to login the system.
$ vagrant box add ubuntu/xenial64
$ vagrant init
$ vi Vagrant
...
config.vm.box = "ubuntu/xenial64"
