Answer 1

You can create a directory for modules and add the apt module that you downloaded from the forge. So it will be modules/apt/*. Then you can specify this module directory in Vagrantfile (module_path is relative to Vagrantfile):

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.provision :puppet do |puppet|
    puppet.module_path = "modules"
  end
end
