Vagrant box could not be found or could not be accessed in the remote catalog - incompatible curl version

I just downloaded Vagrant and did the settings as well as install virtual box. I just can't start my project (vagrant up). I have a vagrant file and so on. What can I do?

$ vagrant up
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> default: Box 'scotch/box' could not be found. Attempting to find and install
...
    default: Box Provider: virtualbox
    default: Box Version: >= 0
The box 'scotch/box' 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/scotch/box"]
Solution

  • There seems to be an issue with vagrant 1.8.7 and the embedded curl version vs the mac os binary (shipped by default on mac os Sierra and others) - remove the embedded one 

    sudo rm /opt/vagrant/embedded/bin/curl

    Note: you also need to remove the embedded curl when you add a vagrant box (remotely or locally) so if you get the same error when running vagrant box add .... just remove the curl from vagrant and it will work
