- Download and install VirtualBox: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
- Download and install Vagrant: http://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html
- Download and unzip the 4.7.5 release of the Fedora 4 VM: https://github.com/fcrepo4-exts/fcrepo4-vagrant/archive/fcrepo4-vagrant-4.7.5.zip
- Using a Command Line Interface, navigate to the VM directory from step 3 and run the command: vagrant up
- Note that this step will take a while as the VM downloads and installs a full virtual environment
- Test the VM by opening your web browser and navigating to: http://localhost:8080/fcrepo
- The administrator username/password is fedoraAdmin/secret3
We will also have an opportunity to try out the import/export utility during the workshop. To follow along, please download the executable JAR file and save it to the same directory as the VM from step 3 above: https://github.com/fcrepo4-labs/fcrepo-import-export/releases/download/fcrepo-import-export-0.2.0/fcrepo-import-export-0.2.0.jar. The utility requires Java 8.
For Windows users, we recommend downloading a more fully-featured command line interface than the basic Command Prompt included with Windows. GitHub Desktop includes Git Shell which will do nicely.
