   - **For faster provisioning** (macOS/Linux only): *[Install Ansible](http://docs.ansible.com/intro_installation.html) on your host machine, so Drupal VM can run the provisioning steps locally instead of inside the VM.*
   - **For stability**: Because every version of VirtualBox introduces changes to networking, for the best stability, you should install Vagrant's `vbguest` plugin: `vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest`.
-  - **NFS on Linux**: *If NFS is not already installed on your host, you will need to install it to use the default NFS synced folder configuration. See guides for [Debian/Ubuntu](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-an-nfs-mount-on-ubuntu-14-04), [Arch](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NFS#Installation), and [RHEL/CentOS](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-an-nfs-mount-on-centos-6).*

   - **Versions**: *Make sure you're running the latest releases of Vagrant, VirtualBox, and Ansible—as of 2020, Drupal VM recommends: Vagrant 2.2.x, VirtualBox 6.1.x, and Ansible 2.9.x*

 You may want to customize your configuration even further, to make sure Drupal VM is tuned for your specific Drupal site's needs, or you may want to change things and make the server configuration more flexible, etc. For all that, the book [Ansible for DevOps](http://ansiblefordevops.com/) will give you a great introduction to using Ansible to make Drupal VM and the included Ansible configuration do exactly what you need!
