Install Methods

Methods

These are a few ways you can follow along with this video series.

• First method - this is probably the easiest for people that are new
• Second method - this is still decently easy, just involves a bit of cli work
• Third method - this is only if you are fairly aquainted with docker and/or vagrant

Note

If you choose either the first or second method you will get some additional niceties that I have baked into the virtual machine's (vm's) setup through bash aliases.

Niceties

I have created a few bash aliases to help aid in running docker.

1. pe-bash - this will the main location we will be playing around with things.
   • what is this: it is a bash alias that handles connecting to docker and mounting things you will need access to do all the bash tricks.
2. pe-cleanup - this is used to remove the previously created container in case you are having issues with your environment. You can then run the pe-bash command afterwards to re-setup your environment.

Any other aliases I create, and might not have documented will be prepended with pe-, so to enumerate them you can type pe- and then hit the <TAB> key. That will try and tab complete anything in your path that starts with pe-.
