memory: 2048
cpus: 1
provider: virtualbox

authorize: ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

# MAIN FOLDERS FOR OUR APPLICATIONS, we have a "www" directory in our home dir
folders:

      to: /home/vagrant/www

# MAPPING FOR OUR SITES
sites:
    - map: jc.test
      to: /home/vagrant/www/jc/public

$ cd .ssh
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "myname@domain.com"

database:larasnippet

$ vagrant SSH 
$ composer global require "laravel/installer"
