# Box
**Command: `vagrant box`**
This is the command used to manage (add, remove, etc.) [boxes](/v2/boxes/index.html).
The main functionality of this command is exposed via even more subcommands:
* `add`
* `list`
* `remove`
* `repackage`
# Box Add
**Command: `vagrant box add NAME URL`**
This adds a box at the given URL to Vagrant and stores it under the
logical name `NAME`.
The URL may be a file path or an HTTP URL. For HTTP, basic authentication
is supported and `http_proxy` environmental variables are respected. HTTPS
is also supported.
The name argument of this command is a _logical name_, meaning you can
effectively choose whatever you want. This is the name that Vagrant searches
for to match with the `config.vm.box` setting in Vagrantfiles.
## Options
* `--provider PROVIDER` - If given, Vagrant will verify the box you're
adding is for the given provider. By default, Vagrant automatically
detects the proper provider to use.
# Box List
**Command: `vagrant box list`**
This command lists all the boxes that are installed into Vagrant.
# Box Remove
**Command: `vagrant box remove NAME PROVIDER`**
This command removes a box from Vagrant that matches the given name and
provider.
# Box Repackage
**Command: `vagrant box repackage NAME PROVIDER`**
This command repackages the given box and puts it in the current
directory so you can redistribute it.
When you add a box, Vagrant unpacks it and stores it internally. The
original `*.box` file is not preserved. This command is useful for
reclaiming a `*.box` file from an installed Vagrant box.
