    Using vagrant

Install


Install VirtualBox
Install vagrant (use the OS installer instead of gem)

Setup


vagrant box add <box_name> <box_url>

Repository with available boxes at http://www.vagrantbox.es/
I'm currently using http://files.vagrantup.com/precise32.box


vagrant init <box_name>


vagrant up

sometimes this command results in hanging at '[default] Waiting for VM to boot. This can take a few minutes.'. If this happens, then vagrant gem install vagrant-vbguest and vagrant vbguest --force, and try vagrant up again.


Install vim and git sudo apt-get install vim git-core


Installing Ruby

You can choose to install it from source. However, I find it better to install it via apt using HelloBit's repository. As of this writing, the Ruby version available there is 1.9.3p374.


Add the GPG public key:


wget -q -O - http://apt.hellobits.com/hellobits.key | sudo apt-key add -


Add the repository source:


echo 'deb http://apt.hellobits.com/ precise main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hellobits.list


Update package list and install Ruby:


sudo apt-get update


sudo apt-get install ruby-stable


Update Rubygems:


sudo gem update --system


Installing PostgreSQL 9.2

First, make sure the locale is set to 'en_US.UTF-8'. The locale command should list something like:
$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US:en
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

If not, then do these:

Edit the locale file(s) in /var/lib/locales/supported.d/, and remove all unneeded locales (one locale per line)
Edit /etc/default/locale to look like:


LANG="en_US"

LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"

LANGUAGE="en_US:en"


Delete all generated locale data: sudo rm -rfv /usr/lib/locale/*
Re-generate new locales: sudo locale-gen
Logout and reboot your machine to make your changes take effect: vagrant reload.
Run locale again to make sure everything is properly set.

For my development environment, I like to configure postgresql (or any other database) to not ask for password on login. This can be done by editing your pg_hba.conf file, which should be under /etc/postgresql/9.2/main/. All the way to the bottom of this file, change the authentication method for local connections to "trust". Basically, change this
# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local   all             all                                     peer
# IPv4 local connections:
host    all             all             127.0.0.1/32            md5
# IPv6 local connections:
host    all             all             ::1/128                 md5

to this
# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local   all             all                                     trust
# IPv4 local connections:
host    all             all             127.0.0.1/32            trust
# IPv6 local connections:
host    all             all             ::1/128                 trust

Then, restart your postgresql server by sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql restart.
Now, a couple of last things:

sudo su - postgres and createuser -s -d vagrant
back to the vagrant user, createdb
run psql and you should see the database sql prompt.

Final Tweaks


sudo apt-get install g++ so that we can compile therubyracer.
