How to Set Up Validate Email Using Vagrant on PC

1. Download Vagrant & Virtual Box
   • http://www.vagrantup.com/downloads
   • http://www.virtualbox.org/
2. Look at http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/getting-started/ to make a linux virtual machine via vagrant
   • tl;dr using bash (Can use regular Windows Terminal)
     • Make a folder first, whenever you want to access the vm you will need to cd into that folder

     $ vagrant init hashicorp/precise32
     
     $ vagrant up
     
     $ vagrant ssh
     

     • This last command is used to go into your vm
3. Install pipin the vm
   • http://www.saltycrane.com/blog/2010/02/how-install-pip-ubuntu/
   • tl;dr

     $ sudo apt-get install python-pip
     
     

4. Install pyDNS

   This is a package dependency of validate email
   
   $ sudo pip install pydns
   

5. Install git

    $ sudo apt-get install git
   

6. Clone the validate_email repo to your vm
   • (Since its a new machine you will need to clone using the https url)
   • $ git clone git@github.com:efagerberg/validate_email.git
   • If you want to use your ssh keys on your machine you will need to add this line to the vagrant file under the config
     • Looks somthing like this: Vagrant::Config.run do |config|

       stuff

       config.ssh.forward_agent = true end
7. cd into validate_email and run script

   $ cd validate_email
