 # Vagrant

+
+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.
