Prerequisite:

1.1. Download and install:

• Github Desktop
• Vagrant
• VirtualBox

Install vagrant 1.5 or above (Some distro like Ubuntu now provides 1.4 via apt-get, please download the .deb from the official download page instead.

Virtual Machine is also required, the free option is VirtualBox, downlaod it from the official download page.

Then Download or Clone https://github.com/gasolin/foxbox.git via git clone command to local computer (we call it Host OS).

1.2. Start a Command Prompt as an Administrator

Click Start. In the Start Search box, type cmd, and then press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.

1.3. Install vagrant plugins in command line

If you use virtualbox as your VM, you need install guest addition before sharing with smb.

> vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest

And to use nfs as shared folder, you need install winnfsd on windows.

> vagrant plugin install vagrant-winnfsd

1.4 Setup gaia path

Use SETX command to set permanent environment variable:

SETX GAIA_PATH C:\Users\[user]\Documents\GitHub\foxbox\gaia

Then restart the console.

Or open Vagrantfile and replace GAIA_PATH to your foxbox path for gaia. Such as "C:\\Users\\[user]\\Documents\\GitHub\\foxbox\\gaia".

Run foxbox

Run following command in command line

> vagrant up

Once the VM is opened, you have a fully settled Ubuntu develop environment. You could login with username/password vagrant/vagrant in VM.
