Running the Puppet Debugging Kit on Windows

Up and running with Vagrant, VirtualBox and the Puppet Debugging Kit on Windows.

Why?

Running the Puppet Debugging Kit on Windows is fairly straightforward, in that the setup process is nearly identical to setup on OSX and Linux.

However, the typical "Vagrant on Windows" caveats apply.

I've attempted to cover the entire setup process here, going from a system with no virtualization tools installed, to a working Vagrant + Oscar + Puppet Debugging Kit environment

Use curl to get the JSON response for the latest release
Use grep to find the line containing file URL
Use cut and tr to extract the URL
Use wget to download it

curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/jgm/pandoc/releases/latest \
| grep "browser_download_url.*deb" \
| cut -d : -f 2,3 \
| tr -d \" \

The OS X version does not require any custom fonts, because it uses the built-in emoji and symbol support in OS X.

The Linux version requires that you install Font Awesome.

This cheat sheet originated from the forum, credits to Laurent Poulain. We copied it and changed or added a few things.

Evaluation Rules

Call by value: evaluates the function arguments before calling the function
Call by name: evaluates the function first, and then evaluates the arguments if need be

    def example = 2      // evaluated when called
    val example = 2      // evaluated immediately

	# To use this, untar the forge backup tarball from
	# http://forge-dl-backup.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/ somewhere and
	# then run this script, passing the name of the directory where you
	# unpacked the tarball.
	#
	# The script will print the names of the latest version of each tarball;
	# you can feed that into something like 'xargs -iF tar xf DIR/F'
