Vagrant setup to start an aws instance or a local virtual box instance with installed git, nodejs, python and heroku toolbelt. Can be used for coursera course 'startup': https://class.coursera.org/startup-001/class/index

#Setup

Install vagrant from http://www.vagrantup.com/

Install vagrant aws plugin: https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant-aws

Create a file with your aws credentials somewhere save on your HD with following content:

module Aws
	class Config
  		attr_accessor :access_key   
  		attr_accessor :secret_key 
 	 	def initialize()
    		@access_key = "access_key"  
  			@secret_key = "secret_key"
  		end
	end
end

Change first line in vagrant file to point to the aws credential file. Mine is located in ~/.matlockx/aws.rb so first line looks:

require File.expand_path(File.join('~', '.matlockx', 'aws'))

Next you need to change the path to your aws pem file. Mine is located in ~/.ssh:

override.ssh.private_key_path = "~/.ssh/matlockx-aws.pem" 

Then change line

aws.keypair_name = "matlockx"

and add your keypair name.

#AWS vagrant up --provider=aws web

Do not to forget

vagrant destroy

at the end of your session.

#Virtualbox

vagrant up local
