Vagrant

• Navigate to Vagrant Download Page
• Click on the proper package for your operating system and architecture, we will be using MAC OSX

• After clicking on Universal (32 and 64-bit) Vagrant will begin to download. Once the download is completed, click on it.

• Next double-click on Vagrant.pkg to open the package. You will be brought to the Vagrant installer.

• Click “Continue” to be brought to the next page of the installer.

• Select Macintosh HD as the installation destination, then click on “Continue”.

• Once you have selected the disk where you want to install Vagrant click “Install”.

• The Installer will prompt you for your username and password. Then click “Install Software”.

• If the installation was successful you can close the installer and get ready to setup VirtualBox.

• Navigate to the Virtualbox Download Page.

• Then click on "amd64", right next to the "VirtualBox 5.0.10 for OS X hosts" label.

• After completing the download open the VirtualBox installer. Click on the “VirtualBox.pkg” icon.

• The installer will prompt you to run a program to determine if the software can be installed, click “Continue”.

• If the program has successfully determined that you can install the software the installer will remain open, press continue. Then select “Macintosh HD” has your installation destination. Click “Continue”.

• After selecting the destination, click “Install”.

• Installer will prompt you for your username and password, then click “Install Software”.

• Once your computer has successfully finished installing Oracle VM VirtualBox you will be directed to the last page of the installer. Click “Close”.

• Open your Terminal application, Terminal’s default location is in your home/applications/utilities folder. You can also open Terminal by searching “Terminal” in spotlight search.

• In Terminal, type or copy and paste git clone [email protected]:fossasia/open-event-server.git after entering commands in Terminal press the "Enter" key.

• Then type or copy and paste cd open-event-server (cd means change directory)

• You will then change into the “open-event-server” directory.

• In Terminal in the “open-event-server” directory, type vagrant up to bring up the virtual machine. This will start installation of a ubuntu box within which the server will run with all its components. If after typing “vagrant up” you received an error stating “valid providers not found ….”, type vagrant up --provider=virtualbox
• This step may take a long time depending on your computer and internet connection

• You will see a bunch of output related to the provisioning of the virtual machine. Something like below:

Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> default: Importing base box 'ubuntu/trusty64'...
==> default: Matching MAC address for NAT networking...
==> default: Checking if box 'ubuntu/trusty64' is up to date...
==> default: Preparing network interfaces based on configuration...
    default: Adapter 1: nat
==> default: Forwarding ports...
==> default: Booting VM...
==> default: Waiting for machine to boot. This may take a few minutes...
    default: SSH
    ......

==> default: Unpacking libjpeg8:amd64 (8c-2ubuntu8) ...
==> default: Selecting previously unselected package libjbig0:amd64.
==> default: Preparing to unpack .../libjbig0_2.0-2ubuntu4.1_amd64.deb ...
==> default: Unpacking libjbig0:amd64 (2.0-2ubuntu4.1) ...
==> default: Selecting previously unselected package libtiff5:amd64.
==> default: Preparing to unpack .../libtiff5_4.0.3-7ubuntu0.3_amd64.deb ...
    ......

Just wait patiently, it will take about 10-15 minutes depending on your computer and the Internet connection. Go sip a coffee in the meantime.

• Once the box is setup up you can enter it by ssh in order to examine its contents.
• With Vagrant, the project is automatically synced up, the changes you make to the models and project files are reflected within the vagrant VM.
• Now ssh into the box vagrant ssh This will bring you to the root directory of the Virtual Machine.

• Notice that the top of the Terminal window no longer says “bash”. Now type cd /vagrant

• (optional)In Terminal, type “ls” to view the files of the directory.

• To run the app, type python create_db.py this step should exit normally without raising any errors. If Terminal does report an error type echo $DATABASE_URL to double check your database configuration.

• Next, type python manage.py runserver -h 0.0.0.0 -p 5000

• Now your server is up and running. To view the admin page go to localhost:8001
• Congratulations! If you see the admin page you have successfully configured the application!
• If you want to shutdown the server press “CTRL + C”.
