# Usage
The Vagrant VMware providers are used just like any other provider. Please
read the general [basic usage](/docs/providers/basic_usage.html) page for
providers.
The value to use for the `--provider` flag is `vmware_fusion` for VMware
Fusion, and `vmware_workstation` for VMware Workstation.
The Vagrant VMware provider does not support parallel execution at this time.
Specifying the `--parallel` option will have no effect.
To get started, create a new `Vagrantfile` that points to a VMware box:
```ruby
# vagrant init hashicorp/precise64
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.box = "hashicorp/precise64"
end
```
VMware Fusion users should then run:
```shell
$ vagrant up --provider vmware_fusion
```
VMware Workstation users should then run:
```shell
$ vagrant up --provider vmware_workstation
```
This will download and bring up a new VMware Fusion/Workstation virtual machine
in Vagrant.

<strong>Note:</strong> At some point in the future, the providers
will probably be merged into a single `vagrant-vmware` plugin. For now,
the Workstation and Fusion codebases are different enough that they
are separate plugins.
