3. Add Box, init Box

~$ vagrant box add centos/7
~$ mkdir -p vagrant/centos7/
~$ cd ./vagrant/centos7/
~/vagrant/centos7$ vagrant init centos/7

output

A `Vagrantfile` has been placed in this directory. You are now
ready to `vagrant up` your first virtual environment! Please read
the comments in the Vagrantfile as well as documentation on
`vagrantup.com` for more information on using Vagrant.

4. Edit Vagrantfile

~/vagrant/centos7$ vi Vagrantfile

~/vagrant/centos7$ cat Vagrantfile | grep -v \# | grep -v ^$
Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
  config.vm.define :test_vm do |test_vm|
    test_vm.vm.box = "centos/7"
  end
end

5. Start VM

~/vagrant/centos7$ vagrant up --provider=libvirt

may take several minutes while first adding the box.

~/vagrant/centos7$ virsh list | grep test_vm
