Initial setup of Vagrant Base

This step only ever needs to be done once. Once the precise64 box is installed on a system the remaining steps refer to that same box regardless of the project.

Download and install Xcode from the Apple App Store.

Download virtualbox from http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads, install dmg.

Download vagrant from http://downloads.vagrantup.com/, install dmg.

Launch a terminal window, check that it installed:

(host) $ which vagrant

Add a vagrant box (we'll be using Ubuntu Precise Pangolin (12.04 LTS) 64-bit):

(host) $ vagrant box add precise64 http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64.box

Starting a New Project

Make a directory for the project and change to it, replacing <path_to> with the path to the project and <project_name> with the name of the project.

(host) $ mkdir <path_to>/<project_name> && cd $_

For example, to create a project called 'website' in your home directory:

(host) $ mkdir ~/website && cd $_

When you're all done, within this directory will be a directory named vagrant/ which will match up with /home/vagrant/ in the virtual envirionment. Virtualbox keeps the two directories in sync so changes to one will be made in the other.

Copy in the Vagrantfile.

(host) $ curl https://gist.github.com/jbergantine/8854784/raw/Vagrantfile > Vagrantfile

Copy in the provisioning files.

(host) $ curl https://gist.github.com/jbergantine/8854784/raw/install-linux-utils > install-linux-utils.sh
(host) $ curl https://gist.github.com/jbergantine/8854784/raw/install-rvm.sh > install-rvm.sh
(host) $ curl https://gist.github.com/jbergantine/8854784/raw/install-ruby.sh > install-ruby.sh
(host) $ curl https://gist.github.com/jbergantine/8854784/raw/set-default-ruby.sh > set-default-ruby.sh
(host) $ curl https://gist.github.com/jbergantine/8854784/raw/install-node.sh > install-node.sh
(host) $ curl https://gist.github.com/jbergantine/8854784/raw/install-bower-and-grunt-cli.sh > install-bower-and-grunt-cli.sh

Startup Vagrant and provision the Virtual Machine:

(host) $ vagrant up

SSH in to the virtualbox:

(host) $ vagrant ssh

Manually install the two non-automated Gists

Copy and paste line for line the code from install-node.sh and install-bower-and-grunt-cli.sh.

Start a Zurb Foundation project

(vm) $ cd /home/vagrant
(vm) $ foundation new my_project

Known Issues

  1. The shell script provisioning doesn't do any checking, it just tries to go it again
  2. The Vagrantfile is misconfigured in some way that throws an SSH error when attempting to run vagrant provision
