I am re-installing vagrant on my local machine unsuccessfully. Initially, I had vagrant downloaded, installed and running well, but decided to uninstall it. My uninstall was as follows:
$ rm -rf /opt/vagrant
$ rm -f /usr/bin/vagrant
Checking for vagrant by running $ which vagrant, I could not find it meaning it was successfully uninstalled.
To re-install it, I implement the steps below but I keep getting the message Command 'vagrant' not found, but can be installed with: sudo apt install vagrant:
Installing a virtualbox
I install virtualbox before installing vagrant:
$ sudo apt install virtualbox
$ which virtualbox
Installing Vagrant: Option 1
$ sudo apt install vagrant
This is the result I get:
Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done vagrant is already the newest version (1:2.2.10).
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 105 not upgraded.
To check whether vagrant has been installed, I run:
$ vagrant --version
And the result is:
Command 'vagrant' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo apt install vagrant
Installing Vagrant: Option 2:
I first checked for the latest version of vagrant on the vagrants downloads page, then downloaded and installed it by running these commands:
$ sudo apt update
$ curl -O https://releases.hashicorp.com/vagrant/2.2.10/vagrant_2.2.10_x86_64.deb
$ sudo apt install ./vagrant_2.2.10_x86_64.deb
The result I get is the same as that of option 1 above. I have checked online for similar problems and their possible solutions like this example and most suggestions point to the PATH. However, nothing is forthcoming.
I have reviewed the documentation among other articles on how to properly install vagrant such as this but the Command 'vagrant' not found still persists. What could be the issue? At this point, moving forward with using vagrant is completely stalled.
I can tell that vagrant is not installed when I run:
$ which vagrant
As you just removed the files instead of using apt-get or dpkg to uninstall the package, the package management is not aware of your manual removal, and so apt-get and dpkg still think the newest version is already installed, and so do nothing.
apt-get --reinstall install vagrant
should solve this.
