Hello,

that happens because in the video he used an older version. That should not worry you at all. Chose 1) and everything else is almost the same after that.

Thank you Kristian. I followed the isntructions but when i type vagrant up in the command line it says : The guest machine entered an invalid state while waiting for it to boot. Valid states are 'starting, running'. The machine is in the 'poweroff' state. Please verify everything is configured properly and try again.

If the provider you're using has a GUI that comes with it, it is often helpful to open that and watch the machine, since the GUI often has more helpful error messages than Vagrant can retrieve. For example, if you're using VirtualBox, run vagrant up while the VirtualBox GUI is open.

I try to open VirtualBox but it gave me an error. What can i do?
