Setup a development environment for MEAN (MongoDB, Express, Angular, and Node.js) based web apps with Vagrant.
The development environment is a Ubuntu 14.04 machine in VirtualBox.
Clone the repository, provision the virtual machine, initialize the default MEAN web app, and run it:
$ git clone https://github.com/realguess/vagrant-mean.git mean && cd $_
$ vagrant up
$ vagrant ssh -c 'cd /vagrant && mean init app && cd $_ && npm install && gulp'
Clone the repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/realguess/vagrant-mean.git
If you prefer a different project name other than vagrant-mean:
$ git clone https://github.com/realguess/vagrant-mean.git mean
Change to the project directory:
$ cd mean
Privision and start the virtual machine:
$ vagrant up
Once the virtual machine is up and ready, you can access it via:
$ vagrant ssh
Restart the virtual machine if necessary:
$ vagrant reload
SSH into the machine:
$ vagrant ssh
Initialize a MEAN app in the shared project directory (directory /vagrant is
shared between the host and the guest):
$ cd /vagrant && mean init app && cd $_
Install dependencies:
$ npm install
Note that if using Windows, the last step npm install will fail, because
symbolic links are not allowed.
Start MEAN web app:
$ gulp
To combine the all the above steps and run it from the host:
$ vagrant ssh -c 'cd /vagrant && mean init app && cd $_ && npm install && gulp'
The default MEAN web app will be avaiable from http://localhost:3000/ from the host machine. Port 3000 is forwarded by Vagrant to the host machine only.
For more information on running MEAN web app, see http://learn.mean.io/.
