# Download vagrant deb package from http://downloads.vagrantup.com/
sudo dpkg -i vagrant.deb

• Configure SSH for GIT - Follow this guide (https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys)
  • OK not to bother with a passphrase for alpha (leave blank), will need one for beta
• Clone the repository.
  • cd to your work in progress folder in git-bash
  • From git-bash: git clone git@github.com:InsolvencyService/rps-alpha.git

• Open a new git-bash (windows)/terminal (mac) on and navigate to where you have downloaded or cloned this repo.
• Run vagrant up... Vagrant should create a new virtual machine and puppet should install all the needed deps.
• Run vagrant ssh to ssh into the newly created virtual machine
• Run cd /vagrant to see the files mirrored from your host machine to your VM
• To get the project to run, you'll need to do the following
  • ./create_venv.sh
  • workon rps
  • cd rps/
• You should now be able to:
  • run ./run_tests.sh to run the tests,
  • run./redundancy_payments_service --debug to run the claimant journey
  • run./insolvency_practitioner_app --debug to run the insolvency practitioner's journey
• Once the server is running, you can access the webpage on http://localhost:8000/

• From within your vagrant box, cd to /vagrant/manual
• pip install sphinx
• Run make html
• Open docs in your browser from: rps-alpha/manual/_build/html/index.html
