  • Start the VM if it's not running

    1. Open a new terminal window
    2. Change directory to the directory with your Vagrantfile in it
    3. Type vagrant up
  • Connect to the VM

    1. Type vagrant ssh from the directory with your Vagrantfile in it
  • Editing files

    1. This tutorial assumes that you run the examples within your virtual machine from the /vagrant/ohsu2018 directory
    2. The entire /vagrant directory in your virtual machine (guest) is shared to your laptop (host), so you can use your favorite editor or IDE to edit files easily at path-you-copied-to-on-your-host-system/vagrant/ohsu2018
    3. Inside the guest machine, you can also use linux editors like vim and nano to edit files.
  • Start a rails console

    1. Make sure you're connected to the VM
    2. Type cd /vagrant/ohsu2018 to change directory to the root of your rails application
    3. Type rails console to enter the console (or rails c for shorthand)
    4. Type exit when you're done to return to the command line
  • Start solr, fedora, and web servers

    1. You'll generally want to open a separate terminal and connect to a new ssh session where you can leave the servers running
    2. Type cd /vagrant/ohsu2018 to change directory to the root of your rails application
    3. Type rails hydra:server to start Solr, Fedora, and the Web server
  • Start Solr if you get an error like "ERROR: Core 'hydra-test' already exists!"

    1. Clear the test solr instance using rm -rf tmp/solr-development/server/solr/hydra-test
    2. Try bundle exec rake ci again and things should work; if not, ask for help.
