VM for Ethereum smart contract development

on the basis of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS ("Jammy Jellyfish") with pre-installed software e.g. Foundry ~~+ Hardhat~~ (*) to get started straight away.

(* Hardhat needs a local installation within a project.)

See bootstrap.sh for software versions.

Get started

    $ sudo dpkg -i virtualbox-_VERSION_~Ubuntu~_PLATFORM.deb
    $ sudo apt-get install --fix-broken install

Clone this repo

$ git clone git@github.com:Dakavon/foundry-vagrant-env.git

Go into the download folder and prepare development environment with
```
$ cd foundry-vagrant-env
$ vagrant up
```
Wait until it is finished :)
The Vagrant VM is now running. To shut it down, you can enter the following:
```
$ vagrant halt
```

If you haven't already create a DAPPS folder within your users home folder, e.g. vua terminal
```
$ mkdir ~/DAPPS
```
Open VM installation folder in a terminal
Start VM and log in
```
$ vagrant up && vagrant ssh
```
Go to ~DAPPS folder inside the VM
```
vagrant@devVM:~$  cd ~/DAPPS/
```
Clone project from _REPOSITORY_ to your DAPPS folder (likely from outside the VM due to public-key authentication)
```
$ git clone git@github.com:_REPOSITORY_
```
and go to _PROJECT_ folder inside the VM
```
vagrant@devVM:~/DAPPS$  cd _PROJECT_
```
and e.g.
- install dependencies via
```
vagrant@devVM:~/DAPPS$  npm install
```
- or use hardhat within project through local installation
```
vagrant@devVM:~/DAPPS/_PROJECT_$   npm install --save-dev hardhat
```

Or set up a new _PROJECT_ with Foundry

vagrant@devVM:~/DAPPS$  mkdir _PROJECT_ && cd _PROJECT_

vagrant@devVM:~/DAPPS/_PROJECT_$  forge init _PROJECT_NAME_

In case forge is not available, try

vagrant@devVM:~/DAPPS/_PROJECT_$  foundryup

Go to the download folder and delete development environment with
```
$ cd foundry-vagrant-env
$ vagrant destroy
```
