Install Git, Vagrant (1.2.7 or later) and Virtualbox (4.2.16 or later). Mac OS X 10.9 "Mavericks" users should install Vagrant 1.3.5 and VirtualBox 4.3.2.

You may also have to import the right VM image:

$ vagrant box add precise32 http://files.vagrantup.com/precise32.box

$ git clone git@github.com:parklab/refinery-platform.git
$ cd refinery-platform
$ vagrant up

The above step should take about 15 minutes depending on the speed of your machine and Internet connection. If you get an error, simply retry by:

$ vagrant provision

Open http://192.168.50.50:8000/ in your web browser.

Create a Python virtual environment (optional but recommended, assumes virtualenvwrapper is installed):

$ mkvirtualenv -a $(pwd) refinery-deployment

Install Fabric:

$ pip install -r deployment/requirements.txt

To pull the latest code and update Refinery installation:

$ fab vm update

Connect to the initialized VM:

$ vagrant ssh
$ workon refinery-platform
$ ./manage.py

Please see installation notes for more details, including information on how to configure Galaxy for this setup.

• Refinery deployment requires a lot of external dependencies. You might have to run vagrant provision repeatedly to install all dependencies successfully. Any errors in the output of vagrant provision indicate that you have to re-run the command.
• If you run into a build error in OS X when trying to install Fabric: export C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/include
• If you have a VPN connection running, you may need to disconnect and reconnect before you can access the VM. In some cases you may have to reboot the host machine.
