Minimum Hardware

• 8GB RAM (by default 4GB is allocated to the VM, see Getting Started to increase this)
• 20GB disk space

Software

• Vagrant 1.9.5 - Windows 7 & 8 users see known issues
• Virtualbox 5.1.22 (newer versions do work, but we guarantee the version listed works)

Getting Started

1. Clone this repository with: git clone https://github.com/FINkit/development-environment
2. Change into the development-environment directory and run: vagrant up

IMPORTANT

When the UI loads you will be prompted for a password. Please wait for the entire provisioning process to complete before entering the password. You will be notified in the terminal window when you can login.

The username and password for the development environment are vagrant:vagrant.

Customising the hardware requirements

The following environment variables can be set to tune the development environment.

Variable	What for	Default
DEVENV_PROCESSORS	How many CPU cores to allocate	2
DEVENV_CPUEXECUTIONCAP	The amount of time (as %) a host CPU spends to emulate a virtual CPU	100
DEVENV_MEMORY	How much memory, in MB, to allocate	4096

Known Issues

Vagrant 1.9.7 and newer on Windows 7 & Windows 8 hangs. This is a bug with Vagrant which is not being fixed, and cannot be addressed by any Vagrant image.

Windows 7 and Windows 8 users will need to upgrade Powershell to 5.1 if you use a version of Vagrant greater than 1.9.6.
