»Installation
If you are upgrading from the Vagrant VMware Workstation or Vagrant VMware Fusion plugins, please halt or destroy all VMware VMs currently being managed by Vagrant. Then continue with the instructions below.

For more information on plugin installation, please see the Vagrant plugin usage documentation.
»Upgrading to v1.x
It is extremely important that the VMware plugin is upgraded to 1.0.0 or above. This release resolved critical security vulnerabilities. To learn more, please read our release announcement.
After upgrading, please verify that the following paths are empty. The upgrade process should remove these for you, but for security reasons it is important to double check. If you're a new user or installing the VMware provider on a new machine, you may skip this step. If you're a Windows user, you may skip this step as well.
The path ~/.vagrant.d/gems/*/vagrant-vmware-{fusion,workstation}
