# Up

**Command: `vagrant up`**

This command creates and configures guest machines according to your
[Vagrantfile](/v2/vagrantfile/index.html).

This is the single most important command in Vagrant, since it is how
any Vagrant machine is created. Anyone using Vagrant must use this command
on a day-to-day basis.

# Options

* `--[no-]destroy-on-error` - Destroy the newly created machine if a fatal,
  unexpected error occurs. This will only happen on the first `vagrant up`.
  By default this is set.

* `--[no-]parallel` - Bring multiple machines up in parallel if the provider
  supports it.

* `--provider x` - Bring the machine up with the given
  [provider](/v2/providers/index.html). By default this is "virtualbox".

* `--provision` - Force the provisioners to run.

* `--provision-with x,y,z` - This will only run the given provisioners. For
  example, if you have a `:shell` and `:chef_solo` provisioner and run
  `vagrant provision --provision-with shell`, only the shell provisioner will
  be run.
