Prerequisites

and you will find a vagrant box file named CentOS-7-x86_64-minimal-v7.4.20170915.box in the same directory after the command has succeeded.

Then you can add the box named CentOS-7-x86_64-minimal-v7.4.20170915 to your box list by the following command:

vagrant box add CentOS-7-x86_64-minimal-v7.4.20170915.box --name CentOS-7-x86_64-minimal-v7.4.20170915
