To replicate the CPL's official development environment a number of open source tools are required, specifically:
v.1.4.3v.1.5Head to the Wiki for OS-specific instructions. In addition, this guide assumes you are developing on a *nix-based machine, as Windows is not fully supported by all the tools used here. With that important caveat noted, please don't let this be a deterent to those pioneers who want to dive in on a Windows machine!
VirtualBox is relatively straight forward to install. Please visit the download page for installation instructions specific to your operating system.
Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install -y virtualboxFedora:
sudo yum install -y virtualboxPlease visit the downloads page to find an appropriate binary for your operating system.
Once vagrant is installed you will need to install two plugins: vagrant-vbguest which updates your Vagrant box's installed guest additions to reflect the version of VirtualBox you are running and vagrant-hostmaster which manages your /etc/hosts file. Run the following commands from a terminal:
# Updates the VirtualBox Guest Editions version to match your VirtualBox version
vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest
# Manages /etc/hosts
vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostmanagerPlease visit the installation page to find the most appropriate route for you to install Ansible. At the time of this writing Ansible 1.5 (most recent version) has not been released to the yum repositories so I installed from source. The rationale stemmed from needing a solution introduced in Ansible 1.5 regarding the git module.
