title: How start a local VM built by packer?
body: <p>I am new to packer.
  For a start I tried to build: <a href="https://github.com/shiguredo/packer-templates/tree/develop/ubuntu-14.04" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/shiguredo/packer-templates/tree/develop/ubuntu-14.04</a> which worked fine. But when I want to sin it up via <code>vagrant up</code> I get the following error:</p>
  <pre><code>Vagrant environment or target machine is required to run this
  command. Run `vagrant init` to create a new Vagrant environment. Or,
  get an ID of a target machine from `vagrant global-status` to run
  this command on. A final option is to change to a directory with a
  Vagrantfile and to try again.
  </code></pre>
  <p>After calling <code>vagrant init</code> a config file which looks like a default config file is created. But still there are errors:</p>
  <pre><code>Bringing machine 'default' up with 'parallels' provider...
  ==&gt; default: Box 'base' could not be found. Attempting to find and install...
      default: Box Provider: parallels
      default: Box Version: &gt;= 0
  ==&gt; default: Adding box 'base' (v0) for provider: parallels
      default: Downloading: base
  An error occurred while downloading the remote file. The error
  message, if any, is reproduced below. Please fix this error and try
  again.
  
  Couldn't open file /Downloads/packer-templates-develop/ubuntu-14.04/base
  </code></pre>
  <p>How can I start my packer-generated VM locally?
  Is the only solution to keep track of the Vagrantfile manually?</p>
  <h1>Edit:</h1>
  <p>if I call <code>vagrant init myNewlyCreatedBox.box</code>
  Then vagrant will try too boot the VM but</p>
  <pre><code>Failed to mount folders in Linux guest. This is usually because
  the &quot;prl_fs&quot; file system is not available. Please verify that
  Parallels Tools are properly installed in the guest and
  can work properly. If so, the VM reboot can solve a problem.
  The command attempted was:
  
  mount -t prl_fs -o uid=`id -u vagrant`,gid=`getent group vagrant | cut -d: -f3` vagrant /vagrant
  mount -t prl_fs -o uid=`id -u vagrant`,gid=`id -g vagrant` vagrant /vagrant
  </code></pre>
