Instructions

1. Download and install Vagrant.

2. Download and install VirtualBox.

3. Clone or download the Vagrant VM configuration file from here.

   • You will end up with a new directory containing the VM files.

   • Change directory to the vagrant directory:

     cd vagrant/

4. In vagrant/ run:

   vagrant up

5. Connect to the VM by running:

   vagrant ssh

6. Type cd /vagrant/ to navigate to the shared repository.
