This project automates the installation of Storytlr on a virtual machine. I've written it to allow me to develop plugins and themes without modifying the setup on my local machine.

This uses VirtualBox and Vagrant to manage virtual machines, and I have written a provisioning install shell script.

The install shell script is not limited to virtual machines - there is no reason why you couldn't use the shell script on a 'real' machine. However it would probably require some modifications.

You can specify various options in the install script, including whether storytlr is downloaded from the Git repository, or the official release.

By default the user is called 'admin' and the passwords are '123456'. It's a very good idea to change these if you're doing anything other than development.

Once Vagrant and VirtualBox are installed you can start the virtual machine by using the vagrant up command. Once the virtual machine is up and running you'll need to add the following line to your /etc/hosts file:

33.33.33.10  vagrant admin.vagrant

admin is the default username - for any new users you'll need to append them to this line in the form <username>.vagrant.
