Is the problem that you are using a box named "mycentos"? This name should
correspond to the box you wish to use, rather than
a name you want it to be called. These names typically correspond to boxes
on Vagrant Cloud:
https://app.vagrantup.com/boxes/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&sort=downloads&provider=&q=centos
So if you wanted to use say, bento/centos-7.2, your Vagrantfile would look
like
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.provision "shell", inline: "echo Hello"
config.vm.define "centos" do |c|
c.vm.box = "bento/centos-7.2"
end
end
I also changed the guest to be called "centos".
One way to check what name you should type when you run `vagrant up` is the
command `vagrant status`. It will show you what names are defined.
Since I called this guest "centos", that means you can run `vagrant up
centos` and `vagrant ssh centos`, as well as any other vagrant commands for
that guest.
But more generally, you give your Vagrant guests names through that config
option that is `config.vm.define`. The string after this is the name.
Have you started with the introduction/getting started guide on the
website? https://www.vagrantup.com/intro/getting-started/index.html
I recommend following along and reading through all of that. It should give
you a good understanding of how to use Vagrant and what steps you might be
missing.
Thanks!
