With an sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade vagrant, Ubuntu tells me I'm at the newest version, 1.4.3. This older version is not working properly when trying to setup Laravel Homestead, whose documentation for Laravel 5.0 states:
If this fails, you may have an older version of vagrant that requires the url of the box. The following should work:
vagrant box add laravel/homestead https://atlas.hashicorp.com/laravel/boxes/homestead
Which results in:
❯ vagrant box add laravel/homestead https://atlas.hashicorp.com/laravel/boxes/homestead
Downloading box from URL: https://atlas.hashicorp.com/laravel/boxes/homestead
Extracting box...e: 0/s, Estimated time remaining: --:--:--)
The box failed to unpackage properly. Please verify that the box
file you're trying to add is not corrupted and try again. The
output from attempting to unpackage (if any):
bsdtar: Error opening archive: Unrecognized archive format
The documentation for 5.1+ states:
If this command fails, make sure your Vagrant installation is up to date.
and omits the alternative with the full URL to the box entirely.
How can I update my Vagrant install to the latest version?
