+# Rogue Rails Starter App
+
+This app is the initial project you should start with at the Rogue Rails workshop.
+
+## Setup
+
+First ensure you have [Vagrant](http://www.vagrantup.com) and [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads) installed.
+
+You should have already received the `roguerails.box` file. If you do not have it, ask one of the team mentors. Then add the box if you haven't already.
+
+```
+vagrant box add roguerails-box path/to/roguerails.box
+```
+
+Next clone this repository and run this command inside.
+
+```
+vagrant up
+```
+
+This will start up the virtual environment. If you receive an error, you may want to try it again with `vagrant halt` and `vagrant up`.
+
+Then you can SSH into the virtual box:
+
+```
+vagrant ssh
+```
+
+This will drop you into the `/vagrant` directory which is a shared folder allowing you to run the application. Run the following commands in the box to finish setting up the project.
+
+```
+bundle install
+cp config/database.example.yml config/database.yml
+rake db:create
+rails s
+```
+
+From here you should be able to access the application at http://localhost:3000/
