Vagrant Setup

* Download & install version 3.1.8 of VirtualBox [takes awhile]

    http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/3.1.8/VirtualBox-3.1.8-61349-OSX.dmg

* Install git using the git installer: http://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/

* Edit /private/etc/hosts file; add this line to the bottom:

* Add the "communityV2" box to your Vagrant box list [takes awhile]

    vagrant box add communityV2 http://vagrant.apartmenttherapy.com/communityV2.box

* Choose a folder for your git-managed rails projects; I use ~/projects -- e.g.,

    mkdir ~/projects

* Checkout CommunityReboot to your projects folder, e.g.,

    cd ~/projects
    git clone [email protected]:sstrudeau/CommunityReboot.git

* Switch to the project folder, initialize vagrant for the project

    cd ~/projects/CommunityReboot
    vagrant init communityV2

* Start vagrant for the first time

    vagrant up

* Set up empty development database

    vagrant ssh
    cd /vagrant
    rake db:migrate
