Install Vagrant (available for all major operating systems) and navigate with the terminal (or cmd) to this directory.
vagrant up
The initial setup is, depending on your internet connection speed, going to take some time. It's normal for VirtualBox to show up, please don't login and wait for the installation to finish.
Updating to the latest version
When new versions of the box are released you can update your local machine by executing:
vagrant box update
Note that updating the box will not update an already-running Vagrant machine. To reflect the changes in the box, you will have to destroy (vagrant destroy) and bring back up the Vagrant machine (vagrant up).
Right click on the desktop to open the Fluxbox menu. Choose Joomla -> XTerm to open the Terminal.
Execute runtests to run all tests.
Navigate with the terminal to cd /joomla/install and run tests/codeception/vendor/bin/robo run:tests
You can also run a single test afterwards with:
tests/codeception/vendor/bin/robo run:test
Just open ./joomla/install directory in your hosts local IDE, like PhpStorm. The directory is mounted to the vagrant virtual machine.
If you want to open the site with your hosts browser just navigate to http://localhost:4242 or http://10.42.0.2
For the joomla user: joomla
Root user: vagrant
The joomla can also use sudo
/joomla on the vagrant machine is mapped to the hosts ./joomla directory
/joomla is empty for me:
Mount it manually with mount joomla /joomla -t vboxsf
