  1. Use the `vagrant-magento` directory as the project root in PHP Storm (not `vagrant-magento/magento2ce`). This is important, because in this case PHP Storm will be configured automatically by [init_project.sh](init_project.sh). If NFS files sync is disabled in [config](etc/config.yaml.dist) and ![](docs/images/windows-icon.png)on Windows hosts [verify the deployment configuration in PHP Storm](docs/phpstorm-configuration-windows-hosts.md).
 
     Use the URL for accessing your Magento storefront in the browser as your Web server root URL. Typically this is the localhost, which refers to your development machine. Depending on how you've set up your VM you may also need a port number, like `hhtp://localhost:8080`.
