+=== Local iso repository ===
+We can create an **iso** directory in our workdir where downloaded iso will be stored for future usage (avoiding recurrent downloads).
+<code>
+> mkdir /home/user/Vagrant/iso
+</code>
+=== Build the box ===
+We can now tell Veewee to build our Debian 8.2.0 box:
+<code>
+> veewee vbox build 'debian-8.2-amd64'
