The first step to using Nomad is to get it installed.

# Install Nomad
To simplify the getting started experience, we will be working in a Vagrant
environment. Create a new directory, and download [this
`Vagrantfile`](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hashicorp/nomad/master/demo/vagrant/Vagrantfile).
## Vagrant Setup
Note: To use the Vagrant Setup first install Vagrant following these instructions: https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/installation/
Once you have created a new directory and downloaded the `Vagrantfile`
you must create the virtual machine:
```shell
$ vagrant up
```
This will take a few minutes as the base Ubuntu box must be downloaded
and provisioned with both Docker and Nomad. Once this completes, you should
see output similar to:
```text
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> default: Importing base box 'bento/ubuntu-16.04'...
...
==> default: Running provisioner: docker...
```
At this point the Vagrant box is running and ready to go.
## Verifying the Installation
After starting the Vagrant box, verify the installation worked by connecting
to the box using SSH and checking that `nomad` is available. By executing
`nomad`, you should see help output similar to the following:
```shell
$ vagrant ssh
...
vagrant@nomad:~$ nomad
Usage: nomad [-version] [-help] [-autocomplete-(un)install] <command> [args]
Common commands:
run Run a new job or update an existing job
stop Stop a running job
status Display the status output for a resource
alloc Interact with allocations
job Interact with jobs
node Interact with nodes
agent Runs a Nomad agent
Other commands:
acl Interact with ACL policies and tokens
agent-info Display status information about the local agent
deployment Interact with deployments
eval Interact with evaluations
namespace Interact with namespaces
operator Provides cluster-level tools for Nomad operators
quota Interact with quotas
sentinel Interact with Sentinel policies
server Interact with servers
ui Open the Nomad Web UI
version Prints the Nomad version
```
If you get an error that Nomad could not be found, then your Vagrant box
may not have provisioned correctly. Check for any error messages that may have
been emitted during `vagrant up`. You can always [destroy the box][destroy] and
re-create it.
## Next Steps
Vagrant is running and Nomad is installed. Let's [start Nomad](/intro/getting-started/running.html)!
