when looking up "vagrant up" it gives unsatisfactory information on getting vagrant working

Question

when looking for vagrant up this is what you get: Error when trying vagrant up . I didn't find this particularly helpful so what the correct answer is you need to go to, https://app.vagrantup.com/boxes/search and find a recent box. The box written about in the previous answer doesn't exist.

Answer 1

So the answer should be:

1. Run vagrant init in the directory you want to use; this will create a file called Vagrantfile.
2. After which go to the url above and find a box you want.
3. Open Vagrantfile and under config.vm.box = prefered/box edit the box to your preferred box that you found in search.
4. After you have modified your Vagrantfile file run the command vagrant up. This will download the box.
5. Success!
