The installation of a box is also easily done. There are couple tasks which we have to do before that:

Create a new folder

From that folder download the box

Install the box

Let's start going:

Basic Box Configuration

Download + Install the Box

The box will be downloaded from the official site: https://app.vagrantup.com/boxes/search

Also, you can check the link for the box from the download configuration file:

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config| config.vm.box = "centos/7" <- Link config.vm.box_version = "1804.02" end
PS E:\Virtuals\Ainsible> vagrant box add centos/7 ==> box: Loading metadata for box 'centos/7' box: URL: https://vagrantcloud.com/centos/7 This box can work with multiple providers! The providers that it can work with are listed below. Please review the list and choose the provider you will be working with. 1) hyperv 2) libvirt 3) virtualbox 4) vmware_desktop Enter your choice: 3 ==> box: Adding box 'centos/7' (v1804.02) for provider: virtualbox box: Downloading: https://vagrantcloud.com/centos/boxes/7/versions/1804.02/providers/virtualbox.box box: Download redirected to host: cloud.centos.org box: Progress: 100% (Rate: 437k/s, Estimated time remaining: --:--:--) ==> box: Successfully added box 'centos/7' (v1804.02) for 'virtualbox'!

Start the box

After the box have been downloaded, we are free to initialize it and import it as follows:

PS E:\Virtuals\Ainsible> vagrant init centos/7 A `Vagrantfile` has been placed in this directory. You are now ready to `vagrant up` your first virtual environment! Please read the comments in the Vagrantfile as well as documentation on `vagrantup.com` for more information on using Vagrant. E:\Virtuals\Ainsible>vagrant up Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider... ==> default: Importing base box 'centos/7'... ==> default: Matching MAC address for NAT networking... ==> default: Checking if box 'centos/7' is up to date... ==> default: Setting the name of the VM: Ainsible_default_1534168275677_88434 ==> default: Clearing any previously set network interfaces... ==> default: Preparing network interfaces based on configuration... default: Adapter 1: nat ==> default: Forwarding ports... default: 22 (guest) => 2222 (host) (adapter 1) ==> default: Booting VM... ==> default: Waiting for machine to boot.

Install Guest Plugin

In order to install the guest plugin, you have to run it from the folder of the box:

E:\Virtuals\Ainsible>vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest Installing the 'vagrant-vbguest' plugin. This can take a few minutes... Fetching: micromachine-2.0.0.gem (100%) Fetching: vagrant-vbguest-0.15.2.gem (100%) Installed the plugin 'vagrant-vbguest (0.15.2)'! E:\Virtuals\Ainsible>
