you have had a stroke and forgotten how to make a script executable by
hand, just insert the following form as the first line of the script

Build Your Own Windows Vagrant Box

Intro

I have found myself needing to test on Windows frequently. I need to be able to spin up fresh virtual machines—Vagrant seems to be the perfect solution.

I primarily use Macs for development and am currently using a cross compiler to develop native Win32 apps (and eventually Win64 apps). On the Mac side, basics like Homebrew are assumed to be

$ brew update
Error: 
  homebrew-core is a shallow clone.
  homebrew-cask is a shallow clone.
To `brew update`, first run:
  git -C /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core fetch --unshallow
  git -C /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-cask fetch --unshallow
This restriction has been made on GitHub's request because updating shallow
clones is an extremely expensive operation due to the tree layout and traffic of
Homebrew/homebrew-core and Homebrew/homebrew-cask. We don't do this for you
