Setup Lernanta Automated

Easy setup:

Download and install VirtualBox https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
Download and install Vagrant http://downloads.vagrantup.com/tags/v1.0.3 or alternatively run 'gem install vagrant' if you have a working ruby environment
Clone our dev env setup repository (no need to fork!) git clone http://github.com/p2pu/lernanta-dev-env.git
cd to the project directory and type "vagrant up"
At this point, you'll have a running dev instances of lernanta on your machine!

To contribute code to lernanta you need to create a fork of lernanta in your own github account and setup a remote for your repository. See our github cheat sheet.
You can make changes in your master or in a branch on your fork of lernanta
Once you made your changes and think that they can be merged back into the p2pu lernanta repository, submit a pull request to the p2pu master branch
We try to keep a list of things that are ready for implementation

Host machine: Your computer that you are using now
VM / Guest Machine: The 'virtual machine' that is running inside vagrant. This is where the webserver lives.
Project Directory: The directory that you clone this project into.

vagrant resume to start the lernanta environment
vagrant suspend to shutdown the lernanta environment
You can access the server from localhost:8001 from your host machine
You can ssh to the server by typing vagrant ssh from top of the project directory
The lernanta directory is shared between the vm and the host. Use your favorite editor to edit the code in this directory and it will be reflected inside the vm.
If you need to execute a command on the command line, be sure to vagrant ssh into the VM first so it uses the VMs environment
More info here http://vagrantup.com/v1/docs/getting-started/index.html

vagrant ssh
tail -f /opt/lernanta/lernanta/webserver.log
There is a default admin user created username:adminuser and password:password123

1.8 GB of disk space (which will be taken up by the virtual machine that contains the dev environment)
With all dependencies, the installation will download about 1GB of data/files (Don't try this on a slow connection)
During the installation there will be a pop-up window asking you to accept incoming connections for the Virtual Machine (click Yes)
On Mac with the latest version of VirtualBox you get a version mismatch warning. Safe to ignore.
