Vagrant is a tool for building and distributing development environments.

Vagrant::BoxCollection#directory

The directory where the boxes in this collection are stored.

A box collection matches a very specific folder structure that Vagrant
expects in order to easily manage and modify boxes. The folder structure
is the following:

    COLLECTION_ROOT/BOX_NAME/PROVIDER/metadata.json

Where:

  * COLLECTION_ROOT - This is the root of the box collection, and is
    the directory given to the initializer.
  * BOX_NAME - The name of the box. This is a logical name given by
    the user of Vagrant.
  * PROVIDER - The provider that the box was built for (VirtualBox,
    VMware, etc.).
  * metadata.json - A simple JSON file that at the bare minimum
    contains a "provider" key that matches the provider for the
    box. This metadata JSON, however, can contain anything.
