Dashing-Vagrant

Vagrant is open-source software used to create lightweight and portable virtual development environments. Vagrant works like a "wrapper" for VirtualBox that can create, configure, and destroy virtual machines with the use of its own terminal commands. Vagrant facilitates the setup of environments without any direct interaction with VirtualBox and allows developers to use preferred editors and browsers in their native operating system.

This setup will create a Dashing Ruby on Rails development environment with a sample dashboard.

Install Vagrant

• Download and install VirtualBox 4.3.12
• Download and install Vagrant 1.6.4

Clone this dashing-vagrant respository (or a fork) to a directory on your host machine:

host $ git clone https://github.com/<username>/dashing-vagrant.git

Connect to the Virtual Machine

Start the virtual machine:

host $ vagrant up

Connect to the virtual machine via ssh:

host $ vagrant ssh

Bundle the Ruby gems:

See the Sample Dashboard

Launch your local browser and navigate to application using localhost http://localhost:3030 or the static IP Address of the virtual machine http://192.168.33.12:3030
