How to install Vagrant VM from local

Question

I was learning Udacity course and they asked me to install Vagrant. But due to large size of .box file I first downloaded it to local from other network and i got this tar file trusty-server-cloudimg-i386-vagrant-disk1.tar. They asked me to download their folder fullstack. This folder consists of following structure:

|--fullstack
    |--vagrant
        |--.vagrant
        |--catalog
        |--forum
            |--forum.py
            |--forum.sql
            |--forumdb.py
        |--tournament
            |--tournament.py
            |--tournament.sql
            |--tournament_test.py
        |--pg_config
        |--Vagrantfile

Vagrant You can see how they are doing from this link. Now when I am using vagrant up on git bash by going to the location fullstack/vagrant following codes are getting up:

$ vagrant up
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> default: Box 'ubuntu/trusty32' could not be found. Attempting to find and in

==> default: Adding box 'ubuntu/trusty32' (v20150818.0.0) for provider: virtualb
ox

Now as you can see in the code downwards it is trying to download .box file from online which I have downloaded on local and I have that on my drive. I want to edit some config file such that when I use vagrant up it should uses the local file trusty-server-cloudimg-i386-vagrant-disk1.tar file to install and should not go for downloading the online file

default: Downloading: https://atlas.hashicorp.com/ubuntu/boxes/trusty32/versions/20150818.0.0/providers/virtualbox.box
    ==> default: Box download is resuming from prior download progress
        default: Progress: 0% (Rate: 13410/s, Estimated time remaining: 5:35:56))

If still some information required please ask me in comment I will update my question.

Vagrantfile:

# -*- mode: ruby -*-

Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|
  config.vm.provision "shell", path: "pg_config.sh"
  # config.vm.box = "hashicorp/precise32"
  config.vm.box = "ubuntu/trusty32"

end

You might have to add the box as below. Refer http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/cli/box.html

vagrant box add yourbox file:///box-file-location/yourbox.box
vagrant init yourbox
vagrant up
