Notes about installing Vagrant and VMWare Fusion on my Mac M1 with Sonoma.

I tried to install Vagrant along with Virtual Box on my Mac M1, but I got several errors. So I decided to use VMWare leveraging I already use it with Windows 11.

1. Install VMWare, this is my current version:

1. Download Vagrant and install it, I saw that you can install it via the command line using brew. I just used the package that I downloaded from here: https://developer.hashicorp.com/vagrant/install
   My current version is: 1.0.22

2. Install Vagrant utility for VMWare:
   Vagrant Utility
   At the minute of writing down these notes the version I installed and that worked for is: 1.0.22

3. Install the vagrant plugin, just open the terminal and execute this command: vagrant plugin install vagrant-vmware-desktop

4. I restarted my system just in case.

5. Verify vagrant was installed: vagrant --version

6. Open VMWare and keep it open, just in case.

7. Create a new directory, and create a new Vagrant file: Vagrantfile.

8. Copy and paste this code:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.box = "spox/ubuntu-arm"
config.vm.box_version = "1.0.0"
end

10. Run: `vagrant up` on the directory of the newly file.
11. Add network configuration:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.box = "spox/ubuntu-arm"
config.vm.box_version = "1.0.0"
config.vm.hostname = "testbox01"
config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "10.9.8.7"
end

12. I got an error saying something like: `Failed to create new device`
13. I found out that the error was that initialy I was using an old version of the vagrant utility for vmware: `1.0.21`, so I read this post:
https://github.com/hashicorp/vagrant/issues/12052
and there I saw that I needed to install the new version, in my case `1.0.22` which I mentioned on the point #3.

Kudos to this post: https://medium.com/@iamzamartech/create-and-manage-vms-with-vagrant-on-mac-m1-chip-d8b85eed082e, since most of the fixes or steps were taken from there.
