Installation

I followed the docs and ran vagrant box add laravel/homestead in my terminal. However, I received the message:

This command was not invoked properly. The help for this command is
available below.

Usage: vagrant box add <name> <url> [--provider provider] [-h]

    -f, --force                      Overwrite an existing box if it exists.
        --insecure                   If set, SSL certs will not be validated.
        --provider provider          The provider that backs the box.
    -h, --help                       Print this help

My vagrant version is 1.2.2

Is it because of the old version of vagrant?

The short answer is almost surely, yes. I would upgrade to 1.6 if I was you.

Just installed Vagrant v1.6.2 and it's working fine now. Would be good to indicate the minimum required version in the docs.

This answer helped! Thanks.

Pretty sure nobody else would be as stupid as me, but to upgrade vagrant, you just download the latest vagrant from the downloads section of the vagrant website, and run it as if it was a new install.

I spent about 20 mins trying to run Vagrant upgrade from the CLI!

In other words:

$ wget https://dl.bintray.com/mitchellh/vagrant/vagrant_1.6.3_x86_64.deb
[...wait for download...]
$ sudo dpkg -i vagrant_1.6.3_x86_64.deb
