## Requirements

* [Vagrant 1.5+](http://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html) (tested with 1.7.2)
* lxc 0.7.5+
* LXC >= 1.0.0
* Linux kernel >= 3.13
* `redir` (if you are planning to use port forwarding)
* `brctl` (if you are planning to use private networks, on Ubuntu this means `apt-get install bridge-utils`)
* A [kernel != 3.5.0-17.28](https://github.com/fgrehm/vagrant-lxc/wiki/Troubleshooting#wiki-im-unable-to-restart-containers)

The plugin is known to work better and pretty much out of the box on Ubuntu 14.04+
hosts and installing the dependencies on it basically means a `apt-get install lxc lxc-templates cgroup-lite redir`
(older LXC versions like 0.7.5 shipped with Ubuntu 12.04 by default might require
[additional configurations to work](#backingstore-options)). For setting up other
types of hosts please have a look at the [Wiki](https://github.com/fgrehm/vagrant-lxc/wiki).

The Ubuntu 12.04 package repositories provide LXC 0.7.5, which is too old. See the [official PPA](https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-lxc/+archive/ubuntu/stable)
for updated packages that are compatible with this plugin. You will also need the `linux-hwe-generic`
kernel package. For setting up other types of hosts please have a look at the [Wiki](https://github.com/fgrehm/vagrant-lxc/wiki).
