Vagrant does not work at all

Vagrant

I upgraded to vagrant version 2.2.18 and now I cannot get vagrant to work.

I deleted the ~/.vagrant directory and every other directory I could find to start completely over.

vagrant --version

Have you tried purging it and then installing an older version or do you really need the newer one?

sude apt-get purge vagrant
sudo apt list -a vagrant
sudo apt install vagrant=2.x.x

Thanks for the response.

I have seen regularly the admonition that I should not use the ubuntu repositories and instead run a curl command like:

curl -O https://releases.hashicorp.com/vagrant/2.2.18/vagrant_2.2.18_x86_64.deb

It has always worked in the past. I was in a hurry, so installed using the apt commands, it install 2.2.18 and it is working fine. So I did not do anymore trouble shooting.

And thank you for your response.
Vagrant is no longer working for me either.
