This allows to run NFD using Vagrant.
This specific setup is based on the official Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit image ubuntu/trusty64.
Quick start once you have Vagrant (and Git) installed: (This should work identically on OS X, Linux, Windows)
git clone https://github.com/named-data-education/vagrant.git
cd vagrant
vagrant up
vagrant ssh
# and inside the VM:
sudo bash
nfd-status
If you need help, vagrant -h is your friend.
