`ssh` executable not found in any directories in t

Question

ERROR:

c:\Users\dhawal.vora>vagrant ssh
`ssh` executable not found in any directories in the %PATH% variable. Is an
SSH client installed? Try installing Cygwin, MinGW or Git, all of which
contain an SSH client. Or use your favorite SSH client with the following
authentication information shown below:

Host: 127.0.0.1
Port: 2222
Username: vagrant
Private key: c:/Users/dhawal.vora/.vagrant/machines/default/virtualbox/private_key

Kindly help????

Vagrant file is below-

# All Vagrant configuration is done below. The "2" in Vagrant.configure
# configures the configuration version (we support older styles for

# Disable automatic box update checking. If you disable this, then

# `vagrant box outdated`. This is not recommended.
config.vm.box_check_update = false

# Create a forwarded port mapping which allows access to a specific port
# within the machine from a port on the host machine. In the example below,
# accessing "localhost:8080" will access port 80 on the guest machine.
# config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 80, host: 8080

# Create a private network, which allows host-only access to the machine
# using a specific IP.
# config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.33.10"

# Create a public network, which generally matched to bridged network.
# Bridged networks make the machine appear as another physical device on
# your network.
config.vm.network "public_network"

# Share an additional folder to the guest VM. The first argument is

#   # Display the VirtualBox GUI when booting the machine
#   vb.gui = true
#
#   # Customize the amount of memory on the VM:
#   vb.memory = "1024"

#
# View the documentation for the provider you are using for more

# Define a Vagrant Push strategy for pushing to Atlas. Other push strategies

Answer 1

With Windows 10 I also couldn't get the 'set PATH' option to work. But when I amended the PATH variable through System Settings and started a new command prompt it worked fine.

Also, putty worked perfectly after I read the screen which told me to use a username of 'core'.

'core' was a requirement of my configuration which was trying to launch CoreOS.

Answer 2

Adding C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin to the PATH environment variable.

Add it manually or I believe you could run this in cmd:

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin

updated from @Ygor Thomaz's comments

or (64 bits)

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin 

If this doesn't fix your problem, go through :

Answer 3

This well-written illustrative tutorial gives a great overview on ways to setup Vagrant SSH. The first way is via Git and the second way describes how to use Putty. It is very easy to follow.

Running Vagrant SSH on Windows

Answer 4

In my case even adding ssh to the PATH didn't solve the problem. What I had to do is connect to vagrant with ssh manually. After executing vagrant up, instead of executing vagrant ssh, I do this:

ssh vagrant@127.0.0.1 -p 2222

And the password is "vagrant"

For getting all the information about the ip, port and user you can use

vagrant ssh-config

Ope this helps somebody...

Answer 5

Adding C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin to the PATH environment variable didn't work for me. So I configured PUTTY for ssh connection.

Answer 6

You can alternatively install openssh from here and then you can add the ssh.exe to your PATH by:

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSH\bin

or

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\OpenSSH\bin
