An automated Omeka virtual development environment. This setup will install Omeka 3.0.2 Classic onto Ubuntu 20 LTS on your computer in a contained Vagrant virtual environment.
This has been tested on Windows but should work on Mac OS X as well.
Requirements:
You first need to create a directory on your computer where the virtual machine and the Omeka project files will reside.
Download all the contents from the vagrant folder listed above and place them in the directory.
Create one additional folder called data. This folder will contain the files for your Omeka application.
