Unable to use any vm box

[Swarag Narayanasetty]

Hi,

i tried installing a box for a online course and there was a box,

https://app.vagrantup.com/jasonc/boxes/centos7 

since i from from india the download speed is limited to 1000/s when i use vagrant box add jasonc/centos7 . The prompt says it would take about 30 hrs to complete download. 

so i downloaded the box manually from there and installed according the answer in stack overflow

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28399324/download-vagrant-box-file-locally-from-atlas-and-configuring-it

so after i did that part 

when i start the box i would get this error:

C:\Users\ACER AVENGER\shellclass\test01>vagrant up
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> default: Importing base box 'jasonc/centos7'...
==> default: Matching MAC address for NAT networking...
==> default: Checking if box 'jasonc/centos7' version '1.4.4' is up to date...
The box 'jasonc/centos7' is not a versioned box. The box was added
directly instead of from a box catalog. Vagrant can only
check the versions of boxes that were added from a catalog
such as from the public Vagrant Server.

C:\Users\ACER AVENGER\shellclass\test01>vagrant box list
jasonc/centos7 (virtualbox, 1.4.4)

I tried updating the box but the same error keeps me from doing that,

Any way solve this issue by not downloading the source once again through

 vagrant box add jasonc/centos7

by changing configuration file .

thanks in advance.

my issue is similar to

Hello

You can download the box file and add it with a local name

vagrant box add --name centos file.box

then you can update the Vagrantfile to use this name,  centos

in this way you will be sure its using the local box.

If you want to update the local box, then you can replace the file with

vagrant box add --force --name centos file.box

thanks

alvaro.
