###Setting up Vagrant

If you yet have downloaded vagrant and downloaded the precise32 box, you can skip this part.

Make sure you have virtual box instaleed and then install vagrant 1.4.3 from here http://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html

Then run

$ vagrant init precise32 http://files.vagrantup.com/precise32.box
$ vagrant up
$ vagrant destroy

It will download the virtual machine.

###Configure Vagrant box

$ git clone https://github.com/gambettinha/hello-node.git
$ cd hello-node

It will set up your environment. Let's connect into it

$ vagrant ssh
$ cd /vagrant/app

###Running the application

$ nvm use v0.11.10
$ npm install --no-bin-links

and now start the application
