DO THIS BEFORE THE WORKSHOP!!
Make sure you have at least 4gb of RAM and a reasonably fast processor. If you know your computer is slow, DON'T WAIT TILL THE DAY OF THE WORKSHOP TO INSTALL EVERYTHING!!!
Windows, MacOSX, and Linux should all work
Install Virtualbox and Vagrant.
Get a zip of the project here or clone the project using git if you know how to! Move the project to your Desktop and be sure to unzip it!
Open a terminal and go to the directory where the project is at. On Linux/MacOSX, you would do
cd ~/Desktop/<Name_of_project>
ls <-- verify you see the files you expectOn Windows (using cmd.exe), you would do
cd c:\Users\<Your_user_name>\Desktop\<Name_of_project>
dir <-- verify you see the files you expectOnce you are in the project directory, simply run
vagrant upNOTE: This process might take a while so be patient! ALSO NOTE: A screen will pop up while the script is running, DO NOT TRY TO LOG IN TO IT LEAVE IT BE
Once the script has completed, go back to the screen that popped up. Your username is vagrant and password is vagrant. You should be seeing a desktop GUI starting after that!
Simply hitting the 'x' on the VM display should do it. The cool kids way of doing it would be to go to the terminal window and typing vagrant halt.
Feel free to do this after you have verified the VM is up. You should be ready for the Workshop at this point!
On the VM, you can open firefox by going to Applications then searching for firefox. You can also open up a terminal by searching for terminal.
Go ahead and open a terminal and type the following
cd /vagrant
lsLooks familiar? Should be the same files you downloaded previously.
