windows10 install

Installing with Windows 10

For this installation I'll use Powershell and Chocolately to manage my Windows Packages.


Phase 1: Prerequisites

Step 1a - Install Chocolately
https://chocolatey.org/docs/installation#install-with-powershellexe

Command to paste in PS: [Note you must start PS as Admin with a right-click]

@"%SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -NoProfile -InputFormat None -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET "PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin"

With that done close the PS.

Step 2a - Install Apps needed for Booterizer

Reopen PS as admin - WHY?


	Chocolatey detected you are not running from an elevated command shell
	 (cmd/powershell).

	 You may experience errors - many functions/packages
	 require admin rights. Only advanced users should run choco w/out an
	 elevated shell. When you open the command shell, you should ensure
	 that you do so with "Run as Administrator" selected. If you are
	 attempting to use Chocolatey in a non-administrator setting, you
	 must select a different location other than the default install
	 location. See
	 https://chocolatey.org/install#non-administrative-install for details.

PS> choco install git
PS> choco install vagrant
PS> choco install virtualbox

Close the PS.


Step 3a - Modify Vagrantfile
- Open PS as admin.
- Create a working dir to hold the files we'll be using
- I created a directory C:\booterizer
- CD into the working directory you created

PS> git clone https://github.com/unxmaal/booterizer.git

PS> cd booterizer



EDIT - fire up your favorite text edit and open the Vagrantfile in this directory.
EDIT - change the settings at the top to fit your local network and SGI - the MAC
address is the most critical.


Phase 2 - The Vagrant Process

Now with the settings saved fire up vagrant and install what's needed for that:

First, we need to install a plugin:
PS> vagrant plugin install vagrant-guest_ansible

Then we can start the main show:
PS> vagrant up
