Trouble installing latest Vagrant

Question

Thanks in advance for any help I can get. I'm on raring.

I require the latest Vagrant in a work project and have followed these steps:

1. $ apt-get install vagrant (installs 1.0.3)
2. Downloaded the latest debian package from http://downloads.vagrantup.com/
3. Running the package through the Software Center, fails with error: "Software can't be installed or removed because the authentication service is not available."
4. Attempted to run package through Software Center with sudo: Software Center crashes.

I also had a go at the ppa

Thanks again.

You can install it as follows:

1. Download the relevant .deb file from the Vagrant Downloads page depending on whether you are using a 32 bit or 64 bit installation of Ubuntu. For v1.3.3:

   • vagrant_1.3.3_x86_64.deb (64 bit)

   • vagrant_1.3.3_i686.deb (32 bit)

2. Install from the command line using:

   sudo dpkg -i <filename>
