2011: Vagrant

Uh, what the WHAT?

If you ever feel like you’re doing it wrong, that means that you’re

doing it right.

If you NEVER feel like you’re doing it wrong, that means you’re

doing it wrong.

If you shoot for the stars, you may just land on the moon.

Scenarios

It works on MY machine

No, it REALLY works on MY machine

Enter Vagrant

So what is Vagrant?

Vagrant is free and open-source software for creating and configuring virtual development environments.[1] It can be considered a wrapper around

virtualization software such as VirtualBox and configuration management software such as Chef, Salt and Puppet. - Wikipedia

Development environments made easy.

Concepts:• Base boxes • Provisioning

Base boxes are to development environments

as out-of-the-box Drupal is to websites.

Provisioning is to development environments as Drupal install profiles are

to websites.

So, think of Vagrant as an install profile for your local

environment.

Installation steps:

1. Download & Install Vagrant from http://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html

2. Download & Install VirtualBox fromhttps://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Hop into Terminal (or iTerm 2)
