Next steps...

1. Unzip the PuPHPet file and put the ./puphpet folder and ./Vagrantfile in the folder that you want to share with your VM.
2. Run 'vagrant up'
3. Wait...
4. Wait some more...
5. Hit the IP you configured as the host in your browser This page is coming from ./html/index.html
6. Configure yout hosts file so that craft.dev points to the aforementioned IP

A note on connecting to your db

I'm using Sequel Pro. Connect via SSH. Enter the MySQL credentials that you supplied. For the SSH credentials, 'vagrant' is the user, 127.0.0.1 is the host. Instead of entering a password, specify the private key found in puphpet/files/dot/ssh/ (id_rsa)
