18. Enter Vagrant

19. So what is Vagrant?

20. Vagrant is free and open-source software for creating and configuring virtual
development environments.[1] It can be considered a wrapper around
virtualization software such as VirtualBox and configuration management software
such as Chef, Salt and Puppet. - Wikipedia

21. Development environments
made easy.

22. Concepts:
• Base boxes
• Provisioning

23. Base boxes are to
development environments
as out-of-the-box Drupal is to
websites.

24. Provisioning is to
development environments
as Drupal install profiles are
to websites.

25. So, think of Vagrant as an
install profile for your local
environment.

26. Installation steps:
1. Download & Install Vagrant from
http://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html
2. Download & Install VirtualBox from
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

27. Hop into Terminal (or iTerm 2)
