### Step 1: Installation
brew cask install chefdk     # install ChefDK
brew cask install virtualbox # install VirtualBox
brew cask install vagrant    # install vagrant for spinning up a disposable environment for testing
brew cask install vagrant-manager


# verify installation
chef --version
vagrant --version
vboxmanage --version

### Step 2: Testing
cd . && mkdir chef && cd chef
vagrant box add bento/ubuntu-14.04 # install Ubuntu image
vagrant init bento/ubuntu-14.04    # initialize image
vagrant up                         # run image
vagrant ssh                        # ssh into running container

# addition vagrant commands
vagrant status  # check status of the VM
vagrant suspend # suspend the VM
vagrant destroy # destroy VM (will need to re-provision things from the ground up
                # and re-run all the installation cmds in order to setup the ChefDK again)
                

### Step 3: Inside Shell, install dependencies
