Vagrant dev environment example

README.txt

1. Install Vagrant: http://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html
2. Install VirtualBox: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
3. Put Vagrantfile and vagrant-bootstrap.sh in some working directory
4. Open a shell, cd to that directory.
5. Run `vagrant up`. This will create the VM and run the vagrant-bootstrap.sh script

Other useful commands (run these from the same directory as the Vagrantfile)

- `vagrant halt`: shut down a machine
- `vagrant destroy -f`: destroy a machine; -f/--force is useful if the machine is running
- `vagrant up`: resume a halted machine, or re-create a destroyed machine
- `vagrant ssh`: log in to the VM via ssh
- `vagrant --help`: show help on all other commands

vagrant-bootstrap.sh

#!/bin/bash

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-numpy python-scipy python-matplotlib --yes


# run any other shell commands you want

  # You can shell scripts when `vagrant up` or `vagrant provision` is run.
  # Just put scripts in the same directory as this `Vagrantfile`.
  config.vm.provision "shell", privileged: false, path: "vagrant-bootstrap.sh"
  # You can do multiple scripts, if you want:

  # Port forwarding examples
  # Just in case you need to run a database server, web server, etc.

  # Mem/cpu config example.
  # If you need more CPUs/RAM, uncomment the next 4 lines and edit as needed.
  #config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |v|
  #  v.memory = 1024
  #  v.cpus = 2
  #end

  # Shared folders
  # Setting the workspace to the current dir allows you to do editing/
  # development on host environment (OSX, etc.) and then actually run/
  # test things inside the virtual environvment.
  # You can map multiple folders in the way.
  # In this case, the ".", "/workspace" indicates that we want to map
  # the current directory on the host machine to the "/workspace" directory
  # on the guest/VM.
  config.vm.synced_folder ".", "/workspace"
