    "versions": [{
        "version": "0.2.0",
        "status": "active",

1. mkdir MyBox

3. vagrant box add http://10.1.2.3/storage/vagrant/srv-fedora-heisenbug64.json
   • add the box to vagrant using the definition from srv-fedora-heisenbug64.json
   • (the box is actually downloaded here, so it can take a minute...or 10)
4. vagrant init company/srv-fedora-heisenbug64
   • init the box (this creates a .vagrant folder and a Vagrantfile in the cwd with the appropriate box name)
5. vagrant up
   • boot the box
