+# Build Vagrant box Debian 13 with virtualbox
+
+Debian 13 Vagrant box builder (Packer) from the project [Packer boxes](https://github.com/geerlingguy/packer-boxes) [Jeff Geerling](https://www.jeffgeerling.com), author of [Ansible for DevOps](https://www.ansiblefordevops.com)
+
+## Requirements
+
+The following software must be installed/present on your local machine before you can use Packer to build any of these Vagrant boxes:
+
+  - [Packer](http://www.packer.io/)
+  - [Vagrant](http://vagrantup.com/)
+  - [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/)
+  - [Ansible](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/installation_guide/intro_installation.html)
+
+## Usage
+
+Make sure all the required software (listed above) is installed, then cd into one of the box directories and run:
+
+    $ packer build -var 'version=1.2.0' box-config.json
+
+After a few minutes, Packer should tell you the box was generated successfully, and the box was uploaded to Vagrant Cloud.
+
+> **Note**: This configuration includes a post-processor that pushes the built box to Vagrant Cloud (which requires a `VAGRANT_CLOUD_TOKEN` environment variable to be set); remove the `vagrant-cloud` post-processor from the Packer template to build the box locally and not push it to Vagrant Cloud. You don't need to specify a `version` variable either, if not using the `vagrant-cloud` post-processor.
+
+
+## Testing built boxes
+
+There's an included Vagrantfile that allows quick testing of the built Vagrant boxes. From the same box directory, run the following command after building the box:
+
+    $ vagrant up
+
+Test that the box works correctly, then tear it down with:
+
+    $ vagrant destroy -f

+### Usage
