NS_ERROR_FAILURE when running Metron Single Node Vagrant installer

[#1]

I'm trying to install the single node vagrant installer.

https://github.com/apache/incubator-metron/tree/Metron_0.1BETA_rc5/deployment/vagrant/singlenode-vag...

Steps that I ran were the following:

1. Downloaded the RC_5 tech preview candiate here; http://home.apache.org/~jsirota/metron/Metron_0.1BETA_RC/RC_5/
2. cd incubator-metron
3. Built source: mvn apache-rat:check && cd metron-streaming && mvn clean integration-test

   && cd ..

4. cd deployment/vagrant/singlenode-vagrant
5. Ran vagrant scripts:
   1. vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostmanager
   2. vagrant up

The error that I'm getting when running vagrant up is the following

There was an error while executing `VBoxManage`, a CLI used by Vagrant

for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.



Command: ["hostonlyif", "create"]

[#2 · Accepted solution]

I solved the problem by upgrading my virtual box from 4.2.4 to 5.0.16.

Ensure that you have the latest virtual box.

I just want to tack onto this that the documentation that George cites in his question should be found at https://github.com/apache/incubator-metron/tree/master/deployment

More complete documentation is coming around this.
