`ssh` executable not found in any directories in the %PATH%

Question

ERROR:

c:\\Users\\dhawal.vora>vagrant ssh
`ssh` executable not found in any directories in the %PATH% variable. Is an
SSH client installed? Try installing Cyg         


        

Answer 1

Adding C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin to the PATH environment variable didn't work for me. So I configured PUTTY for ssh connection.

Answer 2

In my case even adding ssh to the PATH didn't solve the problem. What I had to do is connect to vagrant with ssh manually. After executing vagrant up, instead of executing vagrant ssh, I do this:

ssh vagrant@127.0.0.1 -p 2222

And the password is "vagrant"

For getting all the information about the ip, port and user you can use

vagrant ssh-config

Ope this helps somebody...

Answer 3

You can alternatively install openssh from here and then you can add the ssh.exe to your PATH by:

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSSH\bin

or

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\OpenSSH\bin

Answer 4

With Windows 10 I also couldn't get the 'set PATH' option to work. But when I amended the PATH variable through System Settings and started a new command prompt it worked fine.

Also, putty worked perfectly after I read the screen which told me to use a username of 'core'.

'core' was a requirement of my configuration which was trying to launch CoreOS.

Answer 5

Adding C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin to the PATH environment variable.

Add it manually or I believe you could run this in cmd:

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin

updated from @Ygor Thomaz's comments

or (64 bits)

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin

Answer 6

This well-written illustrative tutorial gives a great overview on ways to setup Vagrant SSH. The first way is via Git and the second way describes how to use Putty. It is very easy to follow.
