I was having problems with this as well , took me a while to sort it out. Eventually I deleted everything and did the download over. I still had issues so I read through everything that it said I was missing and ran the code what I couldn't figure out I googled. I still hit another snag today but that's something else that I'm going 2 work on . I hope this helps.

I am having this issue now, it says:

Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider... [default] Box 'treehouse-rails4' was not found. Fetching box from specified URL for the provider 'virtualbox'. Note that if the URL does not have a box for this provider, you should interrupt Vagrant now and add the box yourself. Otherwise Vagrant will attempt to download the full box prior to discovering this error. Downloading or copying the box...

It says it will take 32 hours to do.
