Why the Ruby dependency for creating cookbooks? I don't prefer installing frameworks I'm not using as add-ons for another product - can vagrant do the extras?

  Well, Vagrant provides a hook for different provisioning frameworks. I believe that Puppet and Chef and officially supported. The project uses Chef, which is written in ruby and uses ruby-based cookbooks to do its work. So it is pretty unavoidable. Also, Vagrant is written in Ruby last I checked, so if you are using Vagrant you already have a Ruby dependency. Sorry if I've misunderstood. As an aside, I thought it would be cool to build a service like this, so it's great that somebody did it. However the name definitely has the wrong connotation.

    >>Vagrant is written in Ruby Well, so it is. I'll sit down now. I tried to run gems (and ruby) from the command line, but it was local to the /embedded directory (on Windows) so not part of the path.

      We are waiting for 1.2.0 Vagrant release to make use of the librarian plugin. Vagrant self-installer will solve Windows issue. It contains several tiny bugs atm unfortunately :(
