Hi, I’m facing a small issue while trying to install Demo virtual machine on 64 bit Windows 10 OS. I followed the instructions provided on [Installing Virtual Machine](https://precice.org/installation-vm.html#sharing-files-and-clipboard). The output of `vagrant up`, is giving the following error ```nohighlight **Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...** **==> default: Box 'precise/precise-vm' could not be found. Attempting to find and install...** **default: Box Provider: virtualbox** **default: Box Version: >= 0** **The box 'precise/precise-vm' could not be found or** **could not be accessed in the remote catalog. If this is a private** **box on HashiCorp's Vagrant Cloud, please verify you're logged in via** **`vagrant login`. Also, please double-check the name. The expanded** **URL and error message are shown below:** **URL: ["https://vagrantcloud.com/precise/precise-vm"]** **Error: The requested URL returned error: 404** ``` I also tried initializing the updated specific version ([v202202.0.0](https://app.vagrantup.com/precice/boxes/precice-vm/versions/202202.0.0)) using `vagrant init precise/precise-vm --box-version 202202.0.0`, however the error still persists. Can you suggest which minor detail is being overlooked from my side. ---

Thank you !!! That’s very naïve one but I’ll still keep the post for the noobs like me who are trying to install it in hurry 😅 ---

Of course, very common problem 👍 Is your issue solved? ---

Hello, I am facing some issues while installing demo VM on 64 bit Windows 11 OS. I installed oracle virtual box and vagrant successfully. However, when I use ‘vagrant up’, after 30% there is an error while executing VboxManage. CLI used by Vagrant. I am attaching the image for reference, could you please suggest the solution. ![vagrant error](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/precice/original/2X/9/99a09258af387ef7b489c378cf81d98e2c0130dd.png) ---

@kandekac Does VirtualBox generally work on your system? You could try this out by just installing a normal Ubuntu or similar. Sometimes you have to apply special BIOS settings for VirtualBox to work properly. See, for example [virtualbox - Virtualization BIOS setting Windows 10 - Super User](https://superuser.com/questions/991323/virtualization-bios-setting-windows-10). But be careful: You can also seriously break things in your BIOS. ---

@kandekac This is unfortunate, especially as we have no experience with Windows 11 at all. So, this will be difficult for us to debug. > [@BenjaminRodenberg](#): > > Does VirtualBox generally work on your system? You could try this out by just installing a normal Ubuntu or similar. As a first step, I would suggest to create some VM and simply see if you can start it. It won’t do anything, but it will be a good first test. ---

I get such errors when I am running out of storage. Are you sure that you have enough free space (and memory)? ---

I checked, there was no storage problem. But I tried on another system with Windows 10. It worked! Thank you!
