in your
terminal and then click "Install".

Put your customizations in ~/.laptop.local
. For example, your
~/.laptop.local
might look like this:
#!/bin/sh
brew tap phinze/homebrew-cask
brew install brew-cask
brew cask install dropbox
brew cask install google-chrome
brew cask install rdio
We now publish vagrant boxes for every supported linux distro. These boxes have the laptop script applied already and are ready to go. Getting started is as easy as creating a Vagrantfile that looks like:
Vagrant.configure('2') do
config.vm.box = 'thoughtbot/ubuntu-14-04-server-with-laptop'
end
# And then in the same directory as your Vagrantfile . . .
vagrant up
vagrant ssh
