Overview:ġ Install Prerequisite Software (XCode)*.Ĥ “Hello World” Vagrant. You are running a computer with Mac OS X 10.10.x installed. This environment is nicely segregated from your day to day computing, and allows you to test our software in a variety of environments. The vagrant virtual servers are configured with a single file (called a “Vagrantfile.”) started with a single command (vagrant up), are contained within a single folder, and can be destroyed with a single command (vagrant destroy). Vagrant allows us to provision complete virtual machines (Unix, Linux, Mac, or Windows) inside the Mac Operating system as virtual machines. This guide is to help those unfamiliar with how to install and use Vagrant and Virtualbox, making the Vagrantfiles published more useful. We will use Vagrant and associated Virtual Server software to build NSoT on a variety of Linux distributions elsewhere in these documents. When done we will be able to load a variety of linux distributions with NSOT pre-configured, as virtual servers inside a test environment. Install Brew, VirtualBox, Vagrant and Vagrant-Manager, on a Macintosh 10.10.x system to deploy test versions of NSOT. NSoT publishes complete installation instructions for linux distributions, branch versions, and Vagrantfiles in addition to, not an alternative for the pip install method: $ pip-install nsot

This tutorial will help you load a Macintonsh computer (OS X) with Vagrant, Virtual Box, and dependencies so that you can start virtual servers and test the software. NSoT engineers have built Vagrantfiles for you to deploy NSoT software in a multitude of linux environments.
