$ vagrant up
No usable default provider could be found for your system.
Vagrant relies on interactions with 3rd party systems, known as
"providers", to provide Vagrant with resources to run development
environments. Examples are VirtualBox, VMware, Hyper-V.
The easiest solution to this message is to install VirtualBox, which
is available for free on all major platforms.
If you believe you already have a provider available, make sure it
is properly installed and configured. You can see more details about
why a particular provider isn't working by forcing usage with
`vagrant up --provider=PROVIDER`, which should give you a more specific
error message for that particular provider.
The VB devs usually can't be bothered fixing the bugs anyway, which should give you some idea as to the quality of the software.
But don't take my word for it, the kernel developers also share this opinion:

I downloaded the .deb package from Vagrant website and installed it manually.
What is a replacement for Vagrant?
Is it true that VirtualBox based on KVM?
It is true that VirtualBox can make use of the KVM module but their implementation is as crap as the rest of their software and less effective than QEMU.
