Setup Vagrant For Symfony project on windows

In this tutorial, we have explained how to Setup Vagrant For Symfony project for Windows. Vagrant is a tool for building and managing virtual machine environments in a single workflow. With an easy-to-use workflow and focus on automation, Vagrant lowers development environment setup time, increases production parity, and makes the “works on my machine” excuse a relic of the past.

Vagrant is an open-source software product for building and maintaining portable virtual software development environments, e.g., for VirtualBox, KVM, Hyper-V, Docker containers, VMware, and AWS, In this tutorial we are setup vagrant by VirtualBox provider, As VirtualBox is supported to windows.
