Installing Vagrant Box And Configuring it with VVV

screencastnotes

---------------------------------------*
1. What is a dev environment?           *
---------------------------------------*

* A development environment is *more or less* A set of tools and processes that help you in creating your program. 

*LAMP, WAMP, MAMP stacks..

*Think of Development environments as bundles of magic , doing heroic things behind the scenes. 

---------------------------------------*
2. Before we install vagrant...        *
---------------------------------------*

*Vagrant is a tool that makes virtual machines for us with a bunch of good magic inside. So before we get Vagrant installed, lets get Virtual-Box up and running! 

*Open Up a terminal and run these commands 

<-!->Don't put the $ in, its just there to show you where the command starts. <-!->

__________________________________
				  |
$ sudo apt-get install virtualbox |

-------------------------------------*
3. Install vagrant! Woop             *
-------------------------------------*

http://vagrantup.com/

run this command inside terminal to see if you have vagrant 

_____________
	     |
$ vagrant -v |
_____________|

If it says something like -'Vagrant 1.7.2'- You're doing the right thing. 

-------------------------------------*
4.setting up vagrant box             *
-------------------------------------*
* A vagrant box is a tool that this software uses to quickly clone virtual machines into directories. Lets add one now! 

 <-!-> MAKE SURE YOU'RE IN YOUR DEV DIRECTORY, OR YOU'LL BE PUTTING CODE IN YOUR HOME FOLDER. WHICH IS REALLY UGLY. <-!->

* From your terminal, CD into your development directory and run these commands.

$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostsupdater   |
$ vagrant box add hashicorp/precise32 		| 
$ vagrant init hashicorp/precise32    		|
$ vagrant up			     		|
$ vagrant ssh		              		|

You're now in the box!! Time to put in work! ( lol ) 
But before we get too carried away, lets install Word-Press and configure it with vagrant. They're like best pals

4.Varying Vagrant Vagrants	     *
-------------------------------------*
* Say 'Varying Vagrant Vagrants' fast atleast 5 times. You cannot continue until you've done this.
* Ok great, we broke our tongues. 
* 'Varying Vagrant Vagrants' (we'll call it 'VVV'), is used to give developers a production level development environment. 

* Lets CD to a directory where we want to put our Word-Press VVV site base. I chose ~/dev/VVV. 
* Clone the git repo into it

________________________________________________________________
						                |
$ git clone https://github.com/Varying-Vagrant-Vagrants/VVV.git |
________________________________________________________________|

* And now, prepare to wait for months and years as we set up our first VVV virtual machine.
* CD into VVV and run this command. 
_____________
	     |
$ vagrant up |
_____________|

* This will take a long time!
