I am trying run vagrant but after vagrant up error appears:

No usable default provider could be found for your system.

Vagrant relies on interactions with 3rd party systems, known as
"providers", to provide Vagrant with resources to run development
environments. Examples are VirtualBox, VMware, Hyper-V.

The easiest solution to this message is to install VirtualBox, which
is available for free on all major platforms.

If you believe you already have a provider available, make sure it
is properly installed and configured. You can see more details about
why a particular provider isn't working by forcing usage with
`vagrant up --provider=PROVIDER`, which should give you a more specific
error message for that particular provider.

I installed before VirtualBox version 4.3.26 r989888 and Linux Ubuntu (64 bit)

After: vagrant box add precise32 http://files.vagrantup.com/precise32.box

==> box: Adding box 'precise32' (v0) for provider: box: Downloading: http://files.vagrantup.com/precise32.box box: Progress: 100% (Rate: 1425k/s, Estimated time remaining: --:--:--) ==> box: Successfully added box 'precise32' (v0) for 'virtualbox'!

when I list vagrant box list

lucid32   (virtualbox, 0)
precise32 (virtualbox, 0)

What is wrong with "provider"

vagrant package --base vagrant-ubuntu64

Vagrant could not detect VirtualBox! Make sure VirtualBox is properly installed.

Vagrant uses the `VBoxManage` binary that ships with VirtualBox, and requires
this to be available on the PATH. If VirtualBox is installed, please find the
`VBoxManage` binary and add it to the PATH environmental variable.

How to help him detect VirtualBox ?

Quick note - Vagrant 1.8.4 and Virtualbox 5.1.X aren't compatible on MacOS 10.11 (can't set a provider).

Virtualbox 5.0.10 works just fine.
