Hello,

You need to open a browser at:

https://atlas.hashicorp.com/feu_valbuena

Then choose the box you want to use.

Say you want to download the test box

That will open a new url:

https://atlas.hashicorp.com/feu_valbuena/boxes/test

Here, you can check:

https://atlas.hashicorp.com/feu_valbuena/boxes/test.json

And choose the box you want to download

Then on command line using curl -L or using the browser you download:

https://atlas.hashicorp.com/feu_valbuena/boxes/test/versions/1.0.0/providers/virtualbox.box

Or,

using vagrant you can do

vagrant init -m feu_valbuena/test
vagrant up

or

vagrant box add feu_valbuena/test

Hi,

Can you please check why this link does not operate.

https://atlas.hashicorp.com/feu_valbuena/boxes/redhat_6_3/versions/1.0.0/providers/virtualbox.box

Thanks a lot

Eldad, did the vagrant init and vagrant box add steps posted by Alvaro give you any errors? If so please post them. There are usually a couple ways it can fail, you might be behind a proxy or DNS server that can't resolve atlas properly to grab the box, or the box might not exist anymore (but this would be an Atlas side issue, so very rare).

Hello,

I wouldn't expect those to work.

as RedHat doesn't allow free distribution.

If you own RedHat licenses/support agreements, I think the best you
can do is build your own boxes.

have a look at packer.io
and examples here:

https://github.com/hashicorp/atlas-packer-vagrant-tutorial

and here

Another option if you must test RHEL type packages (rpm) but you don't NEED RHEL, is to use a CentOS based image and point it to your RedHat repositories or copy in the rpms and install them on CentOS.
