Virtual-forage

Virtual-forage is a virtualisation package for Forage, allowing a host machine to run Forage on a guest OS. This can be useful for testing Forage on another operating system, and also for investigating clustering strategies.

##Downloading

Like all things on GitHub, virtual-forage is best git cloned onto your machine, but could of course also be downloaded and unpacked as a zip. The clone command is;

git clone https://github.com/foragejs/virtual-forage.git

##Installation

VirtualBox is the virtualisation software that allows a 'host' operating system to run a 'guest' operation system. Vagrant is used to install and configure the guest OS.

Set up virtualisation by following these steps:

  1. Install VirtualBox
  2. Install Vagrant

##Operation

vagrant up - gets your virtual box up and running. May take a long time to download stuff the first time you run it (Ubuntu is the standard OS). This script will clone, install and startup a forage in your virtual machine.

Your Forage should be available on http://localhost:3000/

##Shutdown

vagrant destroy
