I downloaded tow ubuntu box for vagrant but why it is a .tar file?
I wanted to install an ubuntu box so I installed vagrant and virtual box. after trying to add a box using vagrant box add ubuntu/bionic64 or ubuntu/xenial64 I ended up with error that there is no default provider. so I went to download a bionic box file from this url:
https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/bionic/current/bionic-server-cloudimg-amd64-vagrant.box
but after it is completed a .tar file is created on my disk which is not what I expected. that should be a .box file not a .tar file. inside the tar file there are these files:
ubuntu-bionic-18.04-cloudimg.mf
metadata.json
box.ovf
Vagrantfile
ubuntu-bionic-18.04-cloudimg-configdrive.vmdk
ubuntu-bionic-18.04-cloudimg.vmdk
what should I do with this file? I tried to change the extension and add it using the same command but no luck. what should I do?
