not sure why I'm having this issue but I can't add vagrant boxes.

Using windows 10, tried on powershell and simple command prompt. same issue. It's a relatively fresh install of windows. Maybe I'm missing some required package?

first i tried this command:

vagrant box add hashicorp/precise32

and got the error:

The box 'hashicorp/precise32' could not be found or
could not be accessed in the remote catalog. If this is a private
box on HashiCorp's Atlas, please verify you're logged in via
`vagrant login`. Also, please double-check the name. The expanded
URL and error message are shown below:

URL: ["https://atlas.hashicorp.com/hashicorp/precise32"]
Error:

So I downloaded the box manually and tried this:

vagrant box add base64 file:///D:/downloads/vagrant_boxes/precise64.box

And got this error again:

==> box: Box file was not detected as metadata. Adding it directly...
==> box: Adding box 'base64' (v0) for provider:
    box: Unpacking necessary files from: file:///D:/downloads/vagrant_boxes/precise64.box
    box:
An error occurred while downloading the remote file. The error
message, if any, is reproduced below. Please fix this error and try
again.

The libraries on current version (as of this date) OSX don't support the version of curl bundled with Vagrant 1.8.7. I installed 1.8.6 and everything worked like a champ. To test this theory:

cd /opt/vagrant/embedded/bin
./curl --help

If you get a 'normal' reply than you should be fine or there's something else wrong.

I was using vagrant v1.8.0 when this happened. Later that day vagrant v1.8.1 was released. I didn't try that, instead I shifted back to v1.7.4 and the issue was gone.

  • You're a life savior! Had the same problem thinking it could have something to do with me installing Vagrant in a folder with spaces. Reinstalled the app several times until stumbling across this which solved it! – Niklas Ekman Jan 29 '16 at 10:52

I've been resolving this issue since I installed vagrant 1.8.1, I tried to installed lower version but i came up with the same problem. Hopefully, I solve it here:

first make sure you installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable. here is for 64bit https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13523 next, download ssl version of curl in my case 64bit also. here: https://curl.haxx.se/latest.cgi?curl=win64-ssl-sspi

now extract the curl.exe to C:\Vagrant\embedded\bin. please see your installation directory.

and then done. if your not using ssl try the no-ssl version of curl. hope helps

Check the C: \ HashiCorp \ Vagrant \ embedded \ bin \ curl.exe case give an error, there is your problem.

To solve, just download gitbash, console2, cmder, etc ... you have curl installed, or try http://www.confusedbycode.com/curl/.

however strongly recommend gitbash or cmder

https://atlas.hashicorp.com/hashicorp/boxes/precise32 base on the offical URL.. there is only virutal box provider. try below command: vagrant init hashicorp/precise32; vagrant up --provider virtualbox

For MacOS users whom reinstalling new version of vagrant doesn't help:

sudo mv /opt/vagrant/embedded/lib/libiconv.2.dylib /opt/vagrant/embedded/lib/libiconv.2.dylib_
brew install libiconv
brew link --force libiconv

You don`t need to add the box. Init instead of this:

vagrant init hashicorp/precise32
vagrant up
vagrant ssh

Hope it will be added in boxes list automatically. If you want to set up local box - add it getting few steps:

D:
cd downloads/vagrant_boxes
vagrant box add base64 precise64.box
vagrant up
vagrant ssh
