A vagrant build for a python development environment
One of the challenges we face as developers on a team or as students in a classroom setting is getting everyone quickly up and running with a full fledged, feature rich, functional and consistent, homogenous Python development environment. Vagrant allows us to quickly build a virtual machine with everything we'll need.
The Vagrantfile in this repo builds an Ubuntu Linux virtual machine. It pre-installs the latest versions of programming editors and IDEs (Integrated Development Environments) and requires about 30 minutes to build on a fast network. It should work on Linux, OS X or Windows so that by the end of the installation you will have an Ubuntu Linux virtual machine running on top of your host operating system, be it OS X, Windows, or another instance of Linux.
Install Virtual Box for your host operating system
https://www.virtualbox.org
Install Vagrant for your host operating system
https://www.vagrantup.com
Attach your computer to a fast network, attach your laptop to a power supply to prevent it from going to sleep, provide for up to four hours for the 'vagrant up' command to do its work. When wired into a descent home network 'vagrant up' might take only twenty minutes.
Clone this repo, change into the directory and start the vagrant build:
t clone https://github.com/UWPCE-PythonCert/uwpce-vagrant.git
uwpce-vagrant
grant up
Restart your new virtual computer and login:
grant reload
Username: vagrant
Password: vagrant
Disable screen saver and power management within the virtual machine. These issues are best left to the host computer.
