where to download vagrant boxes

Question

I know http://www.vagrantbox.es/ provide many vagrant boxes for us to use, but I found many of their url download address is out of date. vagrantcloud.com or https://atlas.hashicorp.com/boxes/search is alternative to me. But when I run vagrant up ubuntu/trusty64 --provider virtualbox I got this:

sean@apptest:~$ vagrant up ubuntu/trusty64 --provider virtualbox
A Vagrant environment or target machine is required to run this
command. Run `vagrant init` to create a new Vagrant environment. Or,
get an ID of a target machine from `vagrant global-status` to run
this command on. A final option is to change to a directory with a
Vagrantfile and to try again.

sean@apptest:~$ vagrant global-status
id       name   provider state  directory                           
--------------------------------------------------------------------
There are no active Vagrant environments on this computer! Or,
you haven't destroyed and recreated Vagrant environments that were
started with an older version of Vagrant.

sean@apptest:~$ vagrant init
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.

sean@apptest:~$ vagrant up ubuntu/trusty64 --provider virtualbox
The machine with the name 'ubuntu/trusty64' was not found configured for
this Vagrant environment.

It seems that I can't vagrant up a box from online download. But I do not find download address from https://atlas.hashicorp.com/ubuntu/boxes/trusty64 too. Is there a better way to get these boxes?

And what if I want to download https://atlas.hashicorp.com/laravel/boxes/homestead v0.2.3 ?

Thanks~

$ vagrant version Installed Version: 1.7.1 Need I upgrade to the latest version is 1.7.2 ? — seanlook, Mar 30 '15 at 02:35
That should be high enough. Try `vagrant init ubuntu/trusty64; vagrant up --provider virtualbox`. — jordanm, Mar 30 '15 at 03:07
Yeah, it worked! Now I can see the download url https://vagrantcloud.com/ubuntu/boxes/trusty64/versions/14.04/providers/virtualbox.box . — seanlook, Mar 30 '15 at 07:28

Thanks to @jordanm , the question is solved. In a clean directory(without Vagrantfile): vagrant init ubuntu/trusty64

Then run vagrant up --provider virtualbox. This will lead to search box from https://atlas.hashicorp.com/search/boxes .

Or just run vagrant box add ubuntu/trusty64.

If you wanna download box file, you can see complete url address where box locate
