Vagrant is a tool for building and distributing virtualized development environments.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By providing automated creation and provisioning of virtual machines using [Sun’s VirtualBox](http://www.virtualbox.org),
|
|
|
|
|
|
Vagrant provides the tools to create and configure lightweight, reproducible, and portable
|
|
|
|
|
|
virtual environments. For more information, see the part of the getting started guide
|
|
|
|
|
|
on ”[Why Vagrant?](http://vagrantup.com/docs/getting-started/index.html)”

|
## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
First, make sure your development machine has [VirtualBox](http://www.virtualbox.org)
|
|
|
|
|
|
installed. The setup from that point forward is very easy, since Vagrant is simply
|
|
|
|
|
|
a rubygem.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sudo gem install vagrant
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To build your first virtual environment:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
vagrant init
|
|
|
|
|
|
vagrant box add base http://files.vagrantup.com/base.box
|
|
|
|
|
|
vagrant up
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started Guide and Video
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To learn how to build a fully functional rails development environment, view the
|
|
|
|
|
|
[getting started guide](http://vagrantup.com/getting-started/index.html).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is also a fairly short (12 minute) [getting started video](http://vimeo.com/9976342) which
|
|
|
|
|
|
explains how to build a fully functional LAMP development environment, which
|
|
|
|
|
|
covers a few parts of Vagrant in more detail than the website guide.

To hack on vagrant, you'll need [bundler](http://github.com/carlhuda/bundler) which can
|
2010-01-22 03:13:53 +00:00
|
|
|
|
be installed with a simple `sudo gem install bundler`. Afterwords, do the following:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-02-10 07:10:16 +00:00
|
|
|
|
bundle install
|
2010-01-22 03:13:53 +00:00
|
|
|
|
rake
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will run the test suite, which should come back all green! Then you're good to go!
