So, I have to download, as per official discourse development guide, `vagrant` software and then, run `vagrant up` in the git shell opened from the github desktop client for dicourse’s master branch. My question is I get something like this:

The problem is that my internet connection is not very good and it automatically reboots every 2 hours or so. It’s speed is also not very fast. So, trying to download vagrant through cmd is hopeless. I have already failed a dozen times. That’s why I use Free Download Manager for big downloads like this one.

My question is: **How can I download that .box file and complete all tasks that `vagrant up` does without using cmd?**

I looked at [https://meta.discourse.org/t/solved-the-connection-was-reset-with-discourse-vagrant/34284](https://meta.discourse.org/t/solved-the-connection-was-reset-with-discourse-vagrant/34284) but it was about some `bundle exec rails s` command (and it’s closed so I can’t respond there) and I looked at [https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/VAGRANT.md#using-vagrant](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/VAGRANT.md#using-vagrant) but it too provided no help.

I can download the [discourse-vms.s3.amazonaws.com/discourse-1.3.0.box](http://discourse-vms.s3.amazonaws.com/discourse-1.3.0.box) using FDM but I don’t know which folder to put it inside and what else to do (which `vagrant up` does), for which I need guidance.

**SUMMARY SOLUTION:**

For Windows users, this is the best path:

1. [`vagrant up` not from command line? - #2 by zogstrip](https://meta.discourse.org/t/vagrant-up-not-from-command-line/41262/2)
2. [`vagrant up` not from command line? - #8 by dtchau](https://meta.discourse.org/t/vagrant-up-not-from-command-line/41262/8)
3. [`vagrant up` not from command line? - #11 by aryanraj](https://meta.discourse.org/t/vagrant-up-not-from-command-line/41262/11)
4. After this, you have to run `vagrant up`.
