`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 Cygwin, MinGW or Git, all of which
contain an SSH client. Or use your favorite SSH client with the following
authentication information shown below:

Host: 127.0.0.1
Port: 2222
Username: vagrant
Private key: c:/Users/dhawal.vora/.vagrant/machines/default/virtualbox/private_key

Kindly help????

Vagrant file is below-

# Every Vagrant development environment requires a box. You can search for

# Disable automatic box update checking. If you disable this, then

# Create a forwarded port mapping which allows access to a specific port
# within the machine from a port on the host machine. In the example below,
# accessing "localhost:8080" will access port 80 on the guest machine.
# config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 80, host: 8080

# Create a private network, which allows host-only access to the machine
# using a specific IP.
# config.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.33.10"

# Create a public network, which generally matched to bridged network.
# Bridged networks make the machine appear as another physical device on
# your network.
config.vm.network "public_network"

# Share an additional folder to the guest VM. The first argument is

# Provider-specific configuration so you can fine-tune various
# backing providers for Vagrant. These expose provider-specific options.
# Example for VirtualBox:
#
# config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
#   # Display the VirtualBox GUI when booting the machine
#   vb.gui = true
#
#   # Customize the amount of memory on the VM:
#   vb.memory = "1024"
# end
#
# View the documentation for the provider you are using for more
# information on available options.

# Define a Vagrant Push strategy for pushing to Atlas. Other push strategies
# such as FTP and Heroku are also available. See the documentation at

# Enable provisioning with a shell script. Additional provisioners such as

Solution 1

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

Solution 2

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.
